Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Very original representation of a griot in the form of a man standing on a stool. He holds an oliphant in one hand and a drum in the other.
He still wears a piece of cloth at his waist. Note the excessiveness of his ears: a griot hears everything and knows everything!
Wood with an old, slightly crusted patina.
Akan people, Ghana or Ivory Coast
Early 20th century
Dimensions: 32 x 12 cm

Ref: 8EQLMKB3ZH
