Objet d’inspiration Baga – Guinée (Afrique de l’Ouest). Cette sculpture évoque l’univers symbolique des peuples Baga, installés historiquement sur le littoral de Guinée. L’œuvre associe une figure féminine protectrice, placée au sommet, à une structure portée par des serpents stylisés (cobra) et des visages anthropomorphes.
Dans la tradition symbolique ouest-africaine, la figure féminine renvoie souvent à la fécondité, à la transmission et à la protection du lignage, tandis que le serpent représente la force vitale, la sagesse et le lien entre le monde visible et les puissances invisibles.
Le volume central creux peut être interprété comme un réceptacle symbolique, image de la fécondité, de l’abondance ou du contenant des forces protectrices.
Cet objet semble relever davantage d’une œuvre de prestige ou d’inspiration
