African Art

(Romina) #1

Statuette (Agni).
Wood, beads, and gold, height: 35 cm.
Private collection, Paris.


This statuette may have been used to transmit messages to
spirits who were believed to rule the world. The beads and
gold pearls are generally associated with the Baloué, but
the features and hairstyle suggest the handiwork of an
Agni artist.
