Two abstract African wood statues made of Ebony wood. Trying to understand where these may have been made and by which tribe. I have not seen figures like this with missing limbs and with such strange features. Any help or ideas are welcome and appreciated. These pieces measure 15" inches tall.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

You might want to check out this interesting site. I didn't read much of it as there is plenty to read but scroll down a bit and you will find this:

Burkina Faso & Ivory Coast & Mali
Lobi people
