Item Details

Description

African Senufo Kafigeledjo Oracle Figure. 19th/20th Century. Paint and mud decorated burlap skin over wood or bone, with feathers and metal. On metal stand. This figural kafigeledjo ("he who speaks the truth") gives visual representation to invisible bush spirits and function as a divination device. The kafigeledjo are created and used by Senufo divination specialists to provoke a sense of anxiety and guilt in those who have committed wrong-doings but have yet to be punished. Kafigeledjo divination uncovers misdeeds, false testimony, and culpability. Provenance: Collection of Allan Stone, New York. Size: 30.5'' x 12.5'' x 3.75'' (77 x 32 x 10 cm).
