Which of the following is a characteristic of yoruba sculpture
1 artists created lifelike portraits with idealized facial features
2 artists made them as offerings to their gods and goddesses.
3 artists inscribed repeating lines on the skin that represent make-up.
4 artists made plaster molds, then cast them in silver.

The correct answer is: 1. Artists created lifelike portraits with idealized facial features

Explanation:

These sculptures were found in West Africa and included figures of men, women, and animals. They are characterized by sharply defined almond eyes, ears set back on the hand and the mouth in a slight smile.

As in the arts of many African nations, the visual accent was on the head, as it was intended to reflect the perfection accorded to it by their culture.
