Middle Niger figurative representations feature a diverse cast of protagonists, from committed couples to the striking personage of a kneeling male. Many of these figures assume recumbent, prostrate, or upward-gazing postures. Gestures of arms crossed against the chest or covering the face suggest attitudes of prayer.
