This impressive figure was created by Eket masters, an Ibibio sub-group centered around the town of Eket in the delta region of the Kwa river. It represents a mythological earth mother called Ala. At least three individual Eket artists or workshops are mostly known from the Ogbom performance calling attention to Ala and her role in human and agricultural fertility.

Pictures of a project from two days ago. I made a #wooden #DisplayCase from wood scraps. The hinged glass door is from an #IKEA #EKET storage cubicle and is available by itself. This is for my #CigaretteLighter collection. I have not yet put all the lighters in. I don't smoke but I like fire. 🔥🤣
Härlig glöd i kaminen här i stugan. Eller Nye Lyen den (Jag är uppväxt i Lye på Gotland). Skåne levererar kall men solig morgon idag.
