Willaim Fagg (List, H. and Fagg, W., Nigerian Images, London, 1963, p.133, fig.133) illustrates a seated female figure modelled in pottery with a similar coiffure but wearing a loin cloth and necklace, which he attirbutes to Azume, the female pottery of the Gomai or Ankwe tribe living near Panksin on the Jos Plateau of central Nigeria. Although she is known to have made several pots, few exist today, and she was exceptional in that she modelled figures as well as made vessels. The present example is a pleasing combination of both.
