卖家的描述
Lobi statue, Bonko region, Burkina Faso, incl stand.
This wooden male figure is distinguished by its very slender silhouette, constructed with strict frontality: the ovoid head, disproportionately large compared to the body, rests on a long, cylindrical neck, while the angular shoulders, narrow torso, and parallel legs create an almost hieratic vertical structure. The face, rendered with great economy of means, features half-closed almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, a mouth with overlapping lips, and large, geometrically shaped ears; the smooth skullcap is separated from the forehead by a curved incision. The arms, held close to the body, converge towards the pubic region, where the male genitalia and navel are clearly indicated. A reddish-ochre substance largely covers the surface, now matte, abraded, and cracked; a significant longitudinal fissure runs through the head and torso, while the ends of the legs are deeply damaged, probably by moisture and wood-boring insects. Within the framework of a Lobi attribution, this sculpture can be compared to the figures called bateba, placed in domestic sanctuaries dedicated to the protective powers associated with families and territory: conceived as auxiliaries of the spirits, they could receive libations or offerings intended to maintain their benevolence.
Dihunthe Palenfo during an interview 2007, nearly blind (Penultimate photo sequence)
We don't know if Dihunthe or Doho, as he calls himself, showed his work to Sikire for criticism and evaluation. But we do count him as one of the Sikire school because he obviously adopted the repertoire and style of the great master of Gaoua. Dihunthe Palenfo, a Birifo, was born in 1925 in Tambili, a village lying about six kilometers southwest of Gaoua. There he still lives today as a farmer and sculptor. His father was carving tool shafts and he tried to prohibit his son from carving when he saw him trying to carve bateba in early years. His father only consented when Dihunthe sold a, as he says, "very beautiful bateba" to a European. Since then Dihunthe has also sold dancing staffs (catalog no. 203), stools with Janus heads (ill. 106), forks and spoons with deer heads to natives as well as traders and tourists. Even though today he is one of the two sculptors among the Lobi who sell most of their works to tourists, he assures us that he would also like carving if he could not make any money with it. According to the information he himself gave us, he has never carved any masks (all information from Malichin, 1981). Dihunthe's style is softer and more vague. His figures do not have the strength and vigorous precision which mark Sikire's style. Typical for example is that Dihunthe puts a hole in the ears of his statues like his master, but the pupils are only circled and not drilled out like Sikire's. This gives them a rather uncertain look. Piet Meyer...Page 152, 1980, Rietberg Museum, 4.6.3

Lunkena was, together with Dihunthe Palenfo, one of the best known followers of Sikire Kambire.
