African Tribal Art - Lobi Slingshot
Ex-French collection.
The populations of the same cultural region, grouped under the name "lobi", form a fifth of the inhabitants of Burkina Faso. Few in number in Ghana, they have also settled in the north of Ivory Coast. It was at the end of the 18th century that the Lobi, coming from North Ghana, settled among the indigenous Thuna and Puguli, the Dagara, the Dian, the Gan and the Birifor. The Lobi believe in a creator God named Thangba Thu, to whom they address themselves through the worship of numerous intermediary spirits, the Thil, the latter being supposed to protect them, with the help of the diviner, against a host of plagues.
Piece accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.
