Why do African sculptures have large heads?
Among many African cultures sculpture is a a form of 'stylised realism'. That is, you can recognise the figure as human, but certain parts have been exaggerated or emphasised if they are important to that person's genderised or cultural identity. So for example in female figures the breasts and thighs are often enlarged as symbols of fertility and fecundity. But for both sexes among many African groups, such as the Yoruba of Nigeria, the head is large because it is regarded as the most important part of a person - the source of their life-force, personality and destiny.
