African Tribal Women’s Life Statue

This vivid African Women Statue brings you the exotic culture from the magical African continent. The beautiful African attire, jewelry, and head wrap (against the black skin tone) has green colors and a perfect decorative accent for introducing colors. The uniquely hand crafted and painted black African Tribal Women Statue make an excellent complement to any home decor. Handmade crafts will have paint uneven, very small stain and scratch. It’s normal and don’t influence the whole beautiful vivid. Colonized and pillaged for more than 300 years, Africa is a rich and diverse place. It is the world’s second-largest continent and the only continent that spans both northern and southern hemispheres. Africa is about 11.7 million mi² (30.37 million km²) in size. This means the US is 32.4% the size of Africa, and the UK is only 0.8% of the size. Africa has over 50 independent countries and accounts for about 16% of the world’s population. That translates to over 1.2 billion people. Now, while it is easy to homogenize and talk about “African people“, the truth is that within these 54 separate and unique countries, there are in fact over 3000 diverse African tribes. Perhaps South Africa best reflects this diversity through its constitution with all 11 official languages recognized by law. The ethnic groups of Africa number in the thousands, with each population generally having its own language (or dialect of a language) and culture.

The ethnolinguistic groups include various Afroasiatic, Khoisan, Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan populations. The official population count of the various ethnic groups in Africa is highly uncertain, both due to limited infrastructure to perform censuses and due to the rapid population growth. There have also been accusations of deliberate misreporting in order to give selected ethnicities numerical superiority (as in the case of Nigeria’s Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba and Igbo people). A 2009 genetic clustering study, which genotyped 1327 polymorphic markers in various African populations, identified 6 ancestral clusters. The clustering corresponded closely with ethnicity, culture and language. A 2018 whole genome sequencing study of the world’s populations observed similar clusters among the populations in Africa. At K=9, distinct ancestral components defined the Afroasiatic-speaking populations inhabiting North Africa and Northeast Africa including the Nilo-Saharan-speaking populations in Northeast Africa and East Africa, the Ari populations in Northeast Africa, the Niger-Congo-speaking populations in West-Central Africa, West Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa, the Pygmy populations in Central Africa, and the Khoisan populations in Southern Africa. African Tribal Women’s Life Statue measures: 4.3 inches / 11 cm x 4 inches / 10 cm x 7.5 inches / 19 cm.
