SENUFO Ark 1
40" long x 8.5" high x 8.5" deep
$500

Horse-headed containers, embellished with carved sun lizards and hornbills, functioned for storage as well as for ritual story-telling.

Note that the tip of the right ear is broken off.

Despite its appearance, this ark shows little evidence of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
