MANO, GAMEBOARD (MANKALA) (Mancala, Wari)1, 6"x 25",
$300, Liberia
The gameboards range from everyday objects with monumental, simple forms
to ornate pieces bringing status to the owner. They all show the creativity
and power Africans put into functional objects. This Mano gameboard is similar
to those of the neighboring Dan, but without the carved heads.
