Description
wood, pigments,
This figure is worked entirely in the style of a traditional “blolo bian” figure, but carved with European shorts and belt, as found on Colon figures.
In case of health problems or other issues the diviners are consulted. They are the ones who tell the people that they have to order the carving of a “blolo” figure in order to get their problems solved.
