Item Description

This brown wooden Senufo statue is used during Lo Society initiations and rituals, also known as a poro society--an educational rite of passage group for men. A Senufo diviner uses the statue to represent an ancestor during a tribal custom, philosophical, or historical teaching.

This one-of-a-kind statue is hand-carved from sacred Baobab wood with hallmark details to the Senufo form, including an angular jaw, exaggerated hairstyle, scarification patterns on her chest. These details emanate the beautiful female form in a proportionate pose specific to how the professional master carvers would create them. The brown wood statue is adhered to a flat square base for sturdy floor display.
