Very interesting Senoufo Deble statue, height 1.08 m, good condition.
This type of statue was destined for the funerals of important members of the "Poro" society and carried in procession by the initiates, who rocked them slowly from side to side, striking the ground from time to time.
carried in procession by the initiates who swing them slowly from side to side, striking the ground from time to time in response to the trumpets and drums, hence their designation as "rhythm pounders".
Note the wear on the arms and torso, where the dancers hold them, and the beautiful, slightly oily patina.
The long, curved forms make it look like a large insect, a sort of cubist praying mantis, a very rare object of this age and quality.
