This is the rating and price for Carved Bowl With Lid, 20th century


Description : Additional Information: A wonderful carved bowl with lid. Four figures of balaphon players support the large bowl. The bowl , itself is decorated with two mask dancers and two baffalo figures in relief. A figure of a horseman and two horn-bill figures stand on the top of the lid. , , This large bowl comes from the Senufo people. The figures have the hallmarks of classic Senufo sculpture in terms of details and style and imagery in association with figures.  , The bowl could have served as a container and used for various ceremonies. It was , probably used as a utensil commissioned by a priest to carry magic objects or ingredients used in rituals. Whatever its use and ceremonial appearance this object is a beautifully carved figure which reflects the skill and aesthetic sensibilities of the Senufo carver.

I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi, PhD.
