The sculpture … more This exquisite Chi Wara headdress sculpture from Mali, West Africa, is a stunning example of traditional African artistry. The sculpture features a pair of stylized antelopes, symbolizing the mythical creature believed to have taught humans the essential art of agriculture. Intricately hand-carved from wood, the figures exhibit elongated horns and detailed incisions that reflect the artisan's skill. The larger figure is complemented by a smaller one, representing the unity and continuity of generations. This cultural artifact is both a powerful symbol and a beautiful piece of art, perfect for enhancing any collection or decor with its rich heritage and striking design. less
