Fine Bankoni Terracotta Ancestral Figure

Item Details

Description

West Africa, Mali, Bankoni style, ca. 12th to 16th century CE. A wonderful abstract figure with an elongated, expressive form with massive long legs and smallish upper body. The head is in an upward position and the large hands are bent at the elbows facing upward. The figure is holding something against his shoulder that has been pierced, perhaps for attaching a ring or feathers. Comes with custom stand. Size: 4.25" W x 14.8" H (10.8 cm x 37.6 cm)

Bankoni figures are named for the first place they were discovered, a village close to Bamako. They are some of the oldest known representative figures from the Western Sudan region, and were found buried in ritual mounds. The huge bracelets and anklets presumably relate to a style of clothing that was worn by people during this little-studied time.
