this sculpture is called seated couple made by an African tribe in the 16th-19th century. the concept of this sculpture is to show the fourth fundamental role of artist. this peace of art is made by hand probably to show their community that they are in a relationship. African tribes had many cultural ways and family was the most important thing. this sculpture was made after a couple got married in a tribe to show that they are now husband and wife. a member of the tribe must of made this sculpture as a gift to represent them together. the woman has her hand around his neck probably meaning she taken by him. this relates to the fourth role because it uses personal feeling and shows you the the truth. the truth that they have become partners for life.
