Similar to depictions of the king, the Queen Mother's hands are supported here by two servants holding fans. In front of them are two further accompanying figures holding a fan and a staff respectively. There are five more female servants at the base of the group. The large number of memorial heads, altar groups and individual figures for Queen Mothers from the 18th - 19th centuries suggests that the office of Queen Mother was revalued with the restoration of kingship at the beginning of the 18th century. Not all kings of the late 17th century had been able to fill this office. Its importance was at an all-time low due to the large number of human sacrifices demanded by King Ewuakpe on the occasion of his mother's death, which led to his temporary removal as king.
