SENUFO
Figure 33
46.5", $400

Deble, carved figures whose legs merged into solid cylindrical bases were designed to be used as percussion instruments. Held by their arms, the heavy figures were pounded against the ground to provide a rythmic beat for Senufo dancers.

This Senufo figure shows no evidence of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
