Tripod Lobi (Senoufo)

Tripod used by the Senoufo communities, an ethnic group in West Africa, notably present in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Burkina Faso. Made of red wood, though it can also be in metal or terracotta, depending on available resources and cultural preferences.

The tripod consists of three legs that support a platform or tray at height. This design allows it to be stable or to support objects above the ground. It is often used in food preparation, notably to elevate pots or containers during cooking.

They can also be used in rituals or ceremonies, which gives them cultural significance beyond their utilitarian function.

In short, the Senoufo tripod is an essential element of the daily life and culture of the Senoufo, combining utility and artistic expression.
