From the African art collection of the painter Amadeo Plaza Garcés, anthropomorphic Bambara targette, formed of two nested elements. The crosspiece is reinforced with a metal part in the upper sliding part. The locks, generally belonging to women and symbolizing the union of two people, can be offered to them by their husbands on the occasion of a birth or to celebrate the installation of the woman with her husband. These are therefore personal goods that can be transmitted to daughters and daughters-in-law. Beautiful heterogeneous patina, granular residual deposits, abrasions from use. Established in central and southern Mali, the Bambara, "Bamana" or "unbelievers", as the Muslims have named them, belong to the large Mande group, along with the Soninke and the Malinke.
