Description from the seller
Superb statue of a Poro warrior – Kulébélé
Elegant and powerful, this warrior statue comes from a ritual hut where it was kept alongside other similar figures. It is depicted equipped with a bag and a rifle, symbols of the protective and magical power attributed to the initiates of Kulébélé.
Its flat and minimalist face, animated only by two raised dots representing the eyes, enhances the mysterious aura of the work. The body, with straight, geometric lines, arms spread at the torso, and legs parallel, reflects a typical stylization of Poro initiation figures.
The piece features a beautiful satin black patina, reflecting its age and ritual handling.
An expressive and authentic sculpture, ideal for African traditional art collectors.
