A small fragentary Lobi sculpture, misinterpred as a single caver called the carver of the "Master of the Pharaohs"* even it´s probably a workshop of group of carvers, which will be identified if more exemplares will appeare. But I guess this workshop isn´t active anymore an so it will be difficult to distinguish between the creating phasesof a single carver and analogous exemplares of the members of a workshop.
