"Senufo Maternity Statue "
This elegant Senufo maternity figure depicts a mother with a long, slender neck, carrying a child on her back, a symbol of fertility and the transmission of life. Her face is sculpted with a pronounced prognathic chin, a trait often associated with the Senufo aesthetic ideal. Her calm, frontal posture exudes a quiet strength, testifying to her central role in the community. This type of figure, called a Pombibele, is often associated with the rituals of the Poro, a Senufo initiation society. She embodies nurturing motherhood, spiritual protection, and cosmic balance.
