A red clay female seated Komaland figurine of characteristic form: the head has a central indentation at the top, which is a common feature of 'Komaland figurines'. Both hands rest on her knees. A bracelet around the right forearm.

In the 1980s, the first figures of this type were accidentally discovered in northern Ghana. They came from large, flat burial mounds. It was only in the 1990s that the territory of the Builsa Koma tribe was examined more closely. Sculptures of this type have since been referred to as "Komaland figures". Thermoluminescence tests put the age of origin on average between the 13th and 18th centuries.
