Two figures by the same artist are shown in Cole & Ross (1977), p. 179, fig. 357. Another was auctioned at Zemanek-Münster on 29 June 2019 (lot 149).
This figure was most probably part of a grouping of figures on a support for one of the "ntan" or "ompe" drums that form the popular drum ensembles among the Fante.
