Descrizione : West Africa, Mali, Bankoni culture, ca. 13th to 14th century CE. A hand-built terracotta vessel of an elongated form with a ridged spine and highly abstract zoomorphic features. The cylindrical body has protruding nodules along the large ridge which may indicate limbs. Nodules encircle the top of the body and form a neck where a rounded head protrudes. Perhaps this is an abstract imagining of a gazelle or another grassland creature. Scholars posit that effigy figures like this example were used in a ritualistic context. Size: 3.25 W x 7 H (8.3 cm x 17.8 cm), 7.5 H (19 cm) on included custom stand. Bankoni figures are named for the first place they were discovered, a village close to Bamako. They are some of the oldest known representative figures from the Western Sudan region, and were found buried in ritual mounds.
