The "Splitman" figure is a recurring motif in African tribal art, often depicted in a highly stylized, angular form that appears integrated with a functional object, such as a stand, basket, or furniture piece. Associated with various African tribal traditions; similar figurative carvings are found in West African (e.g. Yoruba, Nigeria) and Central African (e.g. Congo) art.
