BAMANA, BOLI (BULL) FIGURES 2, Mali

These figures are assembled from diverse organic materials over a wooden core. They are thought to symbolize the universe and to harness spiritual power. Called Boli, they are placed on altars.

Old Bamana Boli figures are rare. Despite their appearance, most of our figures show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
