The Keaka are a small group, and figures of the quality of the Franklin-Faletti example are rare. What we know of these figures come chiefly from fieldwork done by Hans-Joachim Koloss. He notes that these are power figures called enok ateng, or fighting alone, created and anointed to defend against malevolent forces or witchcraft. The healer who commissioned a new figure from a local carver instructed: 'it must be straight and have natural proportions, and it must have eyes and ears to see and hear. It need not be beautiful, instead it should be fearsome' (Koloss in Salmons 1986: 75). Cf. Utotombo. Kunst uit Zwart-Afrika in Belgisch prive-bezit", by de Heusch (Luc) et al., Brussels, 1988:184, #127, for a related figure.
