Senufo - Costa d’Avorio (Senza Prezzo di Riserva)

A Senufo guardian sculpture, Northern Ivory Coast, rising from a cylindrical base, short thick legs, which emerge directly from the base, an abstract loincloth, a slender thin torso with a protruding navel, which is marked by horizontal scarifications, the breasts pointing forward, remarkable elongated arms, odouble-edged knife in the left hand and a fetish bell in the right hand. On the top of the head sits a plaque attachment with an X carved out in the middle. The plaque attachment means that the object plays a double role: First it is a field guard and second it plays a ceremonial role. Fine scarifications on the body and face. Encrusted dark brown patina. Certificate origin and provenance. Burkhard Gottschalk writes that this is not a rhythm pounder (Débéle, do:ogèlè), but a very rare stationary used guardian figure. These sculptures are called propi:ibèlè, „children of the Poro". "Their membership of the Poro would be an explanation for our little knowledge of their significance, because this organisation, which largely determines the village world of the Senufo, is a secret society. ... Even rarer are the statues [propi:ibèlè] … of which it is only said that they belong to the Poro, because there is no reliable information about their use.“ Burkhard Gottschalk, Kunst aus Schwarzafrika.
