SENUFO KPELIYE MASK

$105.00
The traditional arts of the Côte d'Ivoire Senoufo are closely related to their main occupation: agriculture. As with the Bambara, agricultural rituals yielded various items related to the Polo enlightenment, including masks. Various types of statues are also known, from large figures designed to beat the rhythm of dance to figures of mothers and knights. However, one stylistic constant holds them together in general: a curved face and a protruding chin with a prominent small and toothed mouth.

Locally they are known as mrammou, and the weights are made of brass. Traditionally a small set of gold weights were given to a newly wedded man.

power and spiritual role

$60.00
Original works have become sought-after rarities, and age and provenance (as we've seen) do not always guarantee authenticity. Therefore, ancient African sculpture should be viewed according to the above criteria. A work should be carefully observed and, if possible, the rituals and customs of the African society identified as the place of birth should be studied. Any suspicion of a sculpture or mask without descent can be confirmed or dispelled by a professional appraisal.

power and spiritual role

$60.00
While each African nation has its own worship and rituals, the practice of handling objects is common to all. In contrast to the usual respectful distance of Western cult objects, African sculptures, masks and ceremonial objects are believed to be imbued with sanctity during the ritual or ritual in which they are made, after which this sanctity is lost. So African artworks carry their traces. When they accomplish their ritual purpose, they are usually given a patina, which may be damaged and sometimes repaired. Evidence that really deals with ritual purpose is a value criterion that is more important than provenance, and significantly enhances African sculpture.

Ghana: An ‘Akuaba’ fertility doll.

$85.00
This is an Akuaba doll. I'm not going to lie my friend and I struggled with infertility at the same time and bought one for her trip. Soon after, she became pregnant. When I heard of her positive result, I quickly ordered a copy online. Sometimes when you want something so badly, you find yourself doing everything you can to make it happen. Even if that means ordering oddly shaped female wood carvings from the internet. Akuaba dolls are wood carvings from Africa. For infertile women, it is a good luck charm and a symbol of hope. I remember the day it arrived. I broke the packaging and looked directly into the doll's eyes. She felt weightless and easy to hold while I felt so heavy and depressed inside.
