Abstract

Anatomy is a visual science based on vividly describing the observations seen, at times, through a medium. Hence, the philosophy of visual art might well offer an epistemological basis for the complexity of study of human anatomy in a meaningful way. In this paper, we present the first part of our research work on some aspects of structural anthropology associated with the Igbo societies of Southeastern Nigeria. This work gives information on the visual anatomy as depicted by the artistic impressions of the Ikenga.
