Rare polychrome painted Senufo Prosperity Bird.
The Senufo produce a rich variety of sculptures related to the poro society. The most fascinating Senufo sculptures are those of the hornbills.
The sculptors and metalsmiths responsible for the cult objects live in a separate part of the village. The attitude of other Senufo towards them is a mixture of fear and respect.
The long bill that reaches down to the symbolic pregnant belly represents the dual life forces of man and woman.
Fast worldwide shipping at cost and good packaging guaranteed.
