A PramPram couple, incl. stands, collected in Southern Ghana and formerly in the collection of Baba Sylla, exemplifies a rare and little-known sculptural tradition from northern Ghana and Togo, stylistically related to the Moba cultural sphere. The figures are mounted on blackened and natural reddish wooden stands and display multiple layers of pigment, predominantly orange, with eyes, mouth, and breasts outlined in black, highlighting their symbolic anatomy. The individual figure presents a solid, compact body with tapering limbs, very short legs, and a large, spherical head. Facial and anatomical features—including eyes, mouth, ears, navel, nipples, and genitals—are indicated as shallow depressions, while the nose appears as a subtle ridge. The restrained modeling and the use of incised and recessed forms suggest an emphasis on essentialized human characteristics rather than naturalistic representation, conveying social or spiritual meaning through formal abstraction. Baba Sylla, Acra, Ghana, 2018 (penultimate photo sequence). "A great discovery were the so called "Prampram" sculptures, which are stylistically related to the Northern part of the small tribes in Northern Ghana and Togo, in particular the Moba. In my interview Baba Sylla, Accra, Ghana, isn't speaking about a "tribe“, he named it "a great family", which seems to be incorrect under anthropological aspects, but it is a link to the fact, how small this "tribe" is or was in reality. May be this is the reason that these sculptures are unknown in literature. Only Karl-Heinz Krieg (short before his death) conducted unpublished researches with voice protocols close to the hut, where these sculptures were once part of a shrine. But a friend of him told me that Mr. Krieg had no possibility to access the hut." Lit.: Dogbe, B.K.
