| Description |
Among the Lobi, such a sculpture helps to ensure the efficacy of spirits associated with household shrines. The ultimate source of the form and iconography is spiritual. Speaking through diviners, the spriit specifies certain iconic details like coiffure or scarification patterns which must be strictly followed by the client and sculptor to avoid offending the spirit. |
