Description from the seller

Elegant and powerful, this carved wooden Ciwara crest embodies one of the major symbols of Bamana/Bambara art from Mali. Its tall, slender horns, its clean lines, and its deep patina bear witness to remarkable traditional craftsmanship.
Used during agricultural ceremonies to celebrate the labor of the land and prosperity, it now captivates with its sculptural presence and timeless aesthetics.
A standout piece, ideal for enriching a collection of African art or elevating a refined interior.

Shipping guaranteed within 24 hours, with careful packaging, insurance and tracking (tracking).
