This beautifully carved, museum-quality figure, represents an important female ancestor. It was used to carry relative's prayers to God. Ancestors were not worshipped. They were honored and recognized for the fact that they were now close to God. Many people believe that the ancestors still care for the living relatives and consequently will carry prayers to God on behalf of living relatives.
