Nomoli figurines are small sculptures that originate from the Sierra Leone region of West Africa, particularly associated with the Mende and Temne peoples. These clay or stone figures are believed to date back to the 12th century and are thought to have spiritual or cultural significance. They often depict human forms and can be characterized by stylized features, with exaggerated body parts such as heads or limbs, reflecting artistic traditions and spiritual beliefs.
