A basic means of classification consists of listing the five elements that best describe the art's intuitive, religious and aesthetic value to the peoples of various African regions. They are as:
- Likeness to a human figure to better convey thoughts about reality or spirituality.
- Radiant and luminous finish to represent shiny and flawless skin, hence beauty and moral purity.
- Representation of youthfulness portraying vitality, fertility and all the goodness of life.
- Reserved demeanor expresses being in complete control, behaving in a measured and rational way.
- Balance, symmetry and proportion, all of the utmost importance, are achieved through the choice of material.
These five elements are the embodiment of the qualities instilled in each piece by artists in order to connect with the visible and invisible aspects of the world around them.
