Answer:

Question 1: These are African sculptures that include masks, human figures, or things that people use in daily life. Most of the objects are made of wood.

Question 2: In the Tanka Gle mask, the shape of the face and facial features are symmetrical. The left side of the face is identical to the right side. The hair ornaments on both sides are identical. This symmetry in the shape of the face, features, and hair ornaments balances the composition.

In the Chief’s stool, the circular wooden seat on top is identical to the circular wooden stand at the bottom. The miniature faces carved in three circular rows are identical and at equal distance. The symmetry in the carved face designs and the circular shapes of the seat and stand balance the composition.

Question 3: They want to emphasize different parts of human body for symbolic reasons. Thus, a sculptor may make a head larger in proportion to the rest of the body to emphasize the importance of the head in guiding one’s fate.
