Stylistic standing wooden ancestor figure from the Senufo tribe of Ivory Coast.

The Senufo (the francophone spelling Senoufo is commonly used) are an ethnolinguistic group composed of diverse subgroups of Gur-speaking people living in an area spanning from southern Mali and the extreme western corner of Burkina Faso to Katiola in Côte d’Ivoire. In Bambara the word Senufo means “Dialect of the farmers;”and refers to an agricultural and pacifist people. Good condition with clear traces of wear and tear and a great patina of use.
