Beautiful wood carving in the region of Segou (Mali), West Africa. Second half S.XX The Tchiwara is the ritual representation of an African antelope in Bambara culture. It is often used in ceremonies of the village tied over his head and thus perform their dances. It is clearly recognized that there is a Tchiwara (Chi-wara) female and presented with her baby up and his horns are straight, not curved as those of the male. The bowl-shaped base makes it very stable because it measures 98cm (38.5¨) High. Still retains the original wool pending in both the mother and her calf. The body and the face of the female stem is decorated with thin sheets of brass ably anchored to the piece. The tip of the horns is topped by real tufts horsehair.
Unique piece.
