Senoufo Sling (N° 24962) Deposit sale

Throwing weapon with a detailed anthropomorphic motif reminiscent of the deble sculptures of the Senufo. Old matt, dark and velvety patina. Abrasions.
Mainly farmers, the Senoufo group inhabit a region of savannahs that covers southern Mali and Burkina Faso, and northern Côte d'Ivoire. It encompasses about fifty sub-ethnic groups. The Senoufo speak a Voltaic language Gur, Gour, like the Lobi and the Koulango. Living in a reserved area, the Senufo sculptor, whose training spanned seven years, began by making everyday objects, then, little by little, sported increasingly large sculptures. Initiatory rituals completed his learning. Ref. : https://www.art-tribal.fr/art-tribal/livres-art-africain/Sieges-d-Afrique-noire/22180.
