This is the rating and price for Ivory Coast Senufo Figure



Description : The head piece of a harp like instrument found along Africa's west coast from Senegal to Angola for playing Korikaariye, music. The figural bridge through which the hide strings are passed are vertically aligned with the belly. The Korikaariye stringing technique places the instrument in a special classification called harp-lute. (See detail photo of a Korikaariye )instrument from the Mteropolotitan Museum of art collection.) African classifications and names of instruments vary from people to people: this instrument is known as sanku (upper Guinea), kasso (Gambia), simbing (Mali), and kora (Senegal). The carved female figure is similar to those found on Senufu rhythm pounders and staffs, it represents a primordial mother image. 11 with stand.Shipping: We are able to pack and ship this item to an address in the United States for $40.00 via USPS Priority Mail or via FedEx Ground/Home Delivery.
