Description
wood, rich patina, waxed / oiled, rest., base
These generalized figures are embodiments of the primordial mother who guides and protects the sum of all the children of the community.
“Katyéléô” was particularly regarded as the protector of the initiates. The representations of mother-and-child figuratively signify a feeding of the novices with the knowledge of the “poro”.
