BAMANA TRIBE OF MALI, FEMALE FERTILITY FIGURE

Item Details

Description

Bamana Tribe of Mali, Female Fertility Figure
South Saharan Mali, an arid region, wood carvings had a better chance to last. This, a genuine and once tribally used shrine figure. These to do with woman's fertility and social continuity. At 22" high, she shows her natural age without any gunked up, fictitious surface. Iron base, there remain earth 'paints' as broad stripes still visible, mostly vertical, rather faded in, I trust the images will show such. Used also by female initiates to adulthood. The figure carved of a dense hardwood, she shows various ravages of use and time. The fronts of the feet, long missing, her right breast and knee with long abandoned insect damage and general all over wear commensurate with pretty strong age, likely even back to the 19th century.
