Item Details

Description

Ivory Coast or Mali, Senufo Peoples, Carved Wood Female Figure for Sandogo Society, H 24.5" W 4.75" Depth 4.5" | a pregnant female figure bearing a canary cup on her head. This figure is similar to divination statues linked to the Sandogo society, the all-female power association dealing mainly with divination. It's counterpart in Senufo culture is the Poro society, the all-male power association.
