BAMBARA HUT POST, MALI Wood H. 238 cm Provenance... - Lot 186 - Giquello
BAMBARA HUT POST, MALI Wood H. 238 cm Provenance : - Patrick Girard (Lyon) - Private collection (Paris) While the posts of the Toguna palaver houses are common and well referenced among the Dogon, they are much rarer among their Bambara neighbors. This beautiful post is distinguished by its height, its finesse and its beautiful decoration featuring a large elongated lizard carved in high relief, a totemic animal frequently represented on Bambara house locks. Beautiful age and superb patina of use.
