The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Dimitri André

This male Senufo sculpture is known as the helmet mask, but in this case it seems to belong more to the well-known rhythm pounders when you look at the base. The absence of the feet points to an archaic type of the well-known "Déblé". More recent figures usually stand on clearly elaborated feet. The entire torso shows a fluted column on which a finely worked head is placed. The mouth pointed, the nose fine and slender, framed by almond-shaped eyes, scarification marks on the temples, a small whiskers and a crest-shaped hairstyle as a decoration, extremly heavy, hard wood; collected around Korhogo.

Lit.: Susan Elisabeth Gagliardi, Cleveland Museum, Senufo unbound, 2015, page 91.
