Wall panels with painted human and animal figures carved in high relief adorned the interior walls of the three-sided roofed structures the Nkanu call kikaku. Located at a crossroads outside the initiation enclosure, kikaku warned the uninitiated not to continue any farther. Europeans are a recurrent motif on these wall panels. The central figure here, a white colonial administrator, is flanked by two women with ornate body decoration, worn for festive occasions. The women's gestures could indicate that they are pregnant, and their red-colored skin implies maturity. The snake symbolizes the male organ. Taken together, the images could be a commentary on promiscuity and the sexual misconduct of the colonialist. Panel scenes usually refer to real incidents and are meant to amuse the audience.
