Description

wood, partly encrusted brown patina, min. dam., missing part (left foot tip), cracks, slight traces of abrasion, on wooden base;
the whole cultic existence of the Senufo is ruled by the “poro” society. Accordingly a great variety of figural sculptures is made for various tasks within the society. Primarily we can find maternity figures, or the big “deble” figures.
