The 'aloalo' (pronounced 'ah-loo-ah-loo') is a sculpture style in Madagascar that is most often associated with funerary poles. They are similar to American Indian totem poles in that they are typically vertically oritented with various layers associated with legends, notable events, and symbolism.

I'd love to know what you think! How I Designed This Autodesk Fusion360
