MONKEY AND WOMAN

While all of the representations of animals on the tusk relate to serious matters, this scene in which a monkey tries to lift up the edge of a woman's wrapper is unique. The monkey may be related to the nsengi monkeys, which are related to nkisi and known for being quick and having a talent for stealing things.
