PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Additional Information: 

The Senufo are the dominant culture in Cote d'Ivoire, and across the border into Mali. The retail Senufo carve numerous male and female figures as well as many remarkable masks. Most adhere rather strictly to a known set of proportions, but some can be quite abstract. It is thought that many Senufo artworks are produced by "professional" carvers known to the village, and this accounts for the rather standardized "look" found in the majority of their figural objects.
