Hand-carved figurine made from tropical hardwood, depicting a family in Mozambique
This type of woodcarving symbolises harmony, unity and solidarity within the family
The unique style is characterised by slender, stylised figures with elongated necks, whose bodies merge organically into a single solid piece of hardwood
The heads of the female figures are sometimes decorated with subtle painted details imitating traditional headscarves
