A couple of Moba sculptures, Ghana, carved of bone, posted on blackened stands. The Moba people, who live mainly in northern Togo and parts of Burkina Faso, make small sculptures from bone. These figures often represent humans, animals, or spirits. They are not simply decorative. Many serve ritual and spiritual purposes, used in ceremonies to honor ancestors or seek protection. Some are tools for diviners or traditional healers, helping in diagnosing illnesses or communicating with the spirit world. They can also indicate social status, religious roles, or membership in secret societies. Each sculpture carries meaning and function beyond its physical form.
