A female Senufo sculpture, Cote d'Ivoire. Certificate of origin and provenance.

"The Senufo peoples form a complex network comprising more than thirty subgroups with many local variations of language and custom. They occupy a large area of West Africa that spans the national boundaries of Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Burkina Faso. Senufo society is patriarchal; inheritance, however, is traced through the matrilineal line. Consequently, the primacy placed on women and their essential maternal role is often reflected in Senufo artistic traditions like this sculpture. The tyekpa association is part of a larger social organization among the Senufo known as Sandogo. Membership in Sandogo is limited to female members of the Senufo community. Senufo life revolves around the Sandogo society and its counterpart, the all-male Poro society. These institutions cut across kinship lines and household ties, creating a social cohesiveness that extends throughout the community."

Ces jumeaux ont été achetés à TRÈS bon prix. Toutefois l’un d’eux était cassé à l’arrivée et je pense que l’emballage n’était pas adéquat. J’ai réussi à recoller le morceau mais c’est visible.
