The grave statues were discovered and included in the oeuvre of the Master of Kasadi long after the maternity statues and the masks. This specimen is interesting because the collector was told that the maker — the Master of Kasadi — originated from Cabinda. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that several pieces by the Master were acquired in Cabinda. It may be necessary to relocate the epicentre of production, thought until now to have been in Kasadi.

Whatever the case, it is almost certain that the Master produced this grave statue later in life.
