Mossi whistle (N° 29681)

Old Mossi whistle used for hunting, streaked with linear patterns. Warm brown patina with a sheen. The Mossi are a people native to Burkina Faso and the border regions of the surrounding countries. More than five million people consider themselves Mossi, membership in this ethnic community being based on the practice of Moré and the practice of a certain number of traditions. In the 15th and 16th centuries, they formed large kingdoms, the two main ones (Yatenga and Ouagadougou) of which remained independent until European penetration and were only subdued with difficulty by the French colonizers. Animists, the Mossi worship a creator god named Wendé . Each individual is said to have a soul, sigha , linked to a totemic animal.
