Ethnicity: Mumuye. Country: Cameroon. The fact of having two heads denotes an inexplicable phenomenon that makes this figure a source of power and mystery. The fortune teller uses it to consult the way to cure diseases related to female sterility and ensure healthy births in difficult deliveries. Mumuye iron figures are extremely rare and always come from an area located south of the Benoue River, in Cameroon, occupied by barely ten thousand people of this ethnic group, where we know that there is a caste of blacksmiths-fortune tellers who process iron ore. . With export license and certificate of authenticity issued by the Ministry of Arts and Culture of Cameroon.
