Item Details
Description
wood, blackish brown patina, typical posture, facial features and headgear, three piercings at the coiffure, min. dam., fine cracks, slight traces of abrasion, base;
the entire cultic existence of the Senufo is ruled by the "poro" society. Accordingly a great variety of figural sculpture is made for various tasks within the society. Primarily we can find maternity figures, or the big "deble" figures. For the numerous "tugubele" figures, encorporating bush spirits, present figure is too big in size. Presumably it was made for a house altar and represents a female ancestor.
