I saw those in a youtube vid a few years ago this isn't a recent discovery

Why did i think it would look like one of them greek statues with details of the veins?
Wallahi this looks those west african sculptures.
But then again what made me think somalis were artists & sculptures of the highest order?

I sculpted these on a khat binge. They were models for a 90s themed cartoon I was producing.

Stick with your endless talk of being khaniisad and leave these matters to the rest of us...........we are not gonna sit here and allow you to diss Somalis.

This is impressive. There is a Somali chap in MN, who is a fine sculptor, recreated some old, new art work, and I think he has a business front in Mpls.

If it's still not destroyed and in safe keeping, it's obviously in western hands. I would only trust westerners to protect and give dignity to such artifacts, not Isa Musa clansmen who may throw it in the Gulf of Aden as if it was qashin.

Somalis are not a monolith. There just happens to be 1 "Somali" guy in the 15 million strong ethnic group (me) that thinks differently. I'm not a threat. In fact, it's you guys who a threat to me.

Al Shabab threatened to kill me in 2015 via Twitter. I think I am right to have legitimate concerns.

Bloody toerag. I want to lean on the side of caution to think you have engaged in misdeeds, and they were right to have wanted your beheading whilst bellowing for mercy in your gaalo lite inclinations. What have you done?
