These figures are known for representing Westernized African figures in colonial attire.

Colon figures originated during the French colonial period, beginning in the early decades of the 20th century. The term “Colon” derives from the French colon, meaning “colonist.” These sculptures depict colonial officials (doctors, soldiers, administrators) and Africans in European attire with Western attributes (glasses, ties, briefcases, pipes, pith helmets).
