BAMANA, JO MATERNITY FIGURES, Mali

Figures like these were carried in dance ceremonies by new members of the Jo association. Large seated figures of the Jo association were kept in shrines, and aided women who sought their help. Periodically they were brought out for fertility ceremonies. Figures represented the Bamana idea of beauty.

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