A Fine Zaramo processional Staff with female image

Item Details

Description

Zaramo peoples ritual staff , Tanzania, Africa. Tall carved wooden staff with female image on top likely related to the Mwana Hiti cult. The Mwana Hiti (wooden child) first appears during a young Zaramo woman's initiation seclusion. The novice treats the doll as she would her own child, and as part of the coming-out celebration, she and the doll dance together. If the woman does not bear children, she again adopts the doll as her child. So important is the Mwana Hiti that the doll shape appears on ritual objects, staff finials, and grave posts.Condition Report: Good conditionProvenance: The Robert Kinsky collection, PennsylvaniaDimensions: 54 inches tall on custom display stand.Date: Mid to late 20th century
