Lot 905
A Senufo (Poro) cult figure, Ivory Coast, height 44.75cm, width 12.5cm, depth 15cm. This figure represents the spirit known as Sambo. Its function is to assist the souls of the recently dead to reconcile themselves to their new condition, break their ties with the world of the living and make their way into the after world. The body is strangely curved, almost like a rearing cobra with S-shaped spine, being an extremely stylised version of the shape the Senufo often give to female fertility figures with swollen bellies indication pregnancy. This figure retains traces of kaolin.
