Lobi pendant
Burkina Faso
Bronze H. 11,5 cm
Rare Lobi bronze pendant featuring an anthropomorphic figure. The suspension ring is located on the left side of the subject, so it is necessary to imagine the sculpture lying down.
Mastered sculpture and contact patina.
Blandin notes that these figurines are individual amulets made according to the instructions of the spirits (Thila) for the protection of men, women and children, considered more vulnerable, against evil spirits and sorcerers.
