"Seated Male Statue Of A Senufo Pombibele"
This Senufo male statue, seated majestically, presents a stable and collected posture. The closed eyes, the fine scarifications around a prominent navel, and the sculpted bracelets on the wrists suggest a figure of wisdom and contained power. The compact body, with its sober but powerful modeling, conveys a silent spiritual presence, typical of the effigies used in funerary rites or Poro initiation societies. It could represent a venerated ancestor or an archetypal figure, embodying the values of mastery, fertility, and memory. Its rigorous style reflects the balance between spirituality, aesthetics, and Senufo social structure.
