Description from the seller

Contemporary Tiwara wooden crest – Mali

This contemporary crest draws inspiration from the Bambara people and the Tiwara tradition of Mali, renowned for its sculptures of stylized animals used in agricultural ceremonies. Carved from noble wood, this crest symbolizes fertility, prosperity, and harmony with nature—central values in Tiwara culture.

The elongated forms and carved details reflect the community's artisanal know-how and tell the story of the rituals related to agriculture and the transmission of traditions. I present this contemporary decorative piece, which highlights Tiwara art and culture, ideal for enriching your collection.
