Bird Figure – Wood – Lobi – Burkina Faso

Great Lobi wooden bird figure.

Lobi statue, bird protector of the harvest!
A fine example of a classic Lobi aviform statue. The bird’s body rests on two muscular legs that closely resemble human legs.

This primitive Lobi bird is originated from Burkina Faso. It could be placed in a shrine and was using for ceremonial events.

Provenance: former private German collection
