SENUFO DEBLE RHYTHM POUNDER FEMALE ANCESTOR SCULPTURE

Item Details

Description

A tall highly stylized female ancestor sculpture or rhythm pounder (deble) from the Senufo people of the Ivory Coast. Carved from a very heavy and dense piece of wood, such figures were once a crucial element in both ceremonial ancestral rites and in initiations of adolescents to adult society; it was also a benevolent symbol of fertility and a conduit to the departed. This example measures 36 inches tall x 8 inches wide.

Condition

Fair, eroded top knot, evidence of tribal repair
