Colonial statues are a kind of wooden figurative sculpture within African art, which originated during the colonial period. These retailer statues depict commonly European settlers (for example, civil servants, doctors, soldiers, and technicians) or they Europeanize the African middle class. The figures are often characterized by recurring motifs, such as helmets, suits, official uniforms or tobacco pipes, walking sticks and colorful hats. They are painted in bright colors or they are polished with plant-based paints. The main features of the African colonial statues are: the colors, the big dimensions, the Western costumes portraying different personalities of the social ladder.
