Item Details

Description

A tall carved wooden male form with zoomorphic form on top, various carved regalia and a nice weathered surface patina.

A member of the poro society may possess one or more single figures that were initially commissioned as a result of a member's visionary encounter with spirits in dreams or while alone in the fields.'These pounders were traditionally used at funeral ceremonies for Poro society members. In some areas, they are actually pounded, at others, they are gathered at the center of the ceremonial grounds. This sculpture measures 44 inches tall.
