You call that "too detailed"?

Yes, too detailed for being of African origin (or it is from a much modern era, closer to our present time and got inspired by art from other civilizations)

More seriously, that's typical african art

African art is mainly focused on heads, weapons and animals.

That one looks too much like a small container with the heads part being a cover that would sit on top of the center cavity.

I win

No, we all lost because we wasted time talking about the differences between African and Mayan Art. We're no better than UC Berkeley Sophomores.

Good job!

There's a controversy regarding the dating of Igbo artifacs.

This paper reviews the results of the recent excavations at Igbo-Ukwu, from which large quantities of copper and bronze objects, glass and stone beads as well as highly decorated pottery were recovered. Although four out of five radiocarbon dates fall in the middle of the ninth century A.D., while the fifth one falls in the middle of the fifteenth century, other dating evidence-like the presence of European-type manilla and beads, and the preservation of highly perishable materials-such as textiles, thread and wood fragments-seem to suggest a much later date. Consequently, until some concrete evidence can be produced to support the ninth century date, we cannot jettison the fifteenth century date, which seems to be corroborated by the evidence of the manillas and beads.

Yeah definitely not mayan, it's just not the mayan style regarding design/shapes

Now are those wooden things 9th century AD... I highly doubt it's the case for obvious reasons, such as wooden things, needless to mention in africa...
