Hand-carved out of a single piece of wood, and placed on a pedestal, all designs are unique. Symmetrical cut-outs in lower part of stele indicate hips of the abstracted human representation.

The Giriama people of Kenya hold onto their ancestral beliefs and are known for their tradition of carved wooden posts and commemorative sculptures - also called kikangu.

By honoring the energy and presence of "koma", or ancestor spirits, these grave posts also fulfill an important role as mediators between the world of the living and the spirit realm. The abstract and geometric forms of kikangu serve as a diagrammatic representation of a spirit.
