Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Kneeling Figure Pomdo Or Nomoli - Sierra Leone, Kissi



Beschreibung : soapstone, The Kissi call these figures pomdo - the dead or images of the dead. The identity of the specific ancestor is revealed in a dream and the figure receives sacrifices, offerings and is placed with others on an altar. Some figures may be used in divination, oath taking or protection of initiates. But the figures are also placed in the fields in order to ensure a good harvest and sufficient food. These stone figures were not made by the Kissi themselves, but were accidentally brought to light during field work. They are the only known remains of an empire that existed hundreds of years ago in present-day Sierra Leone and Liberia. Continent: Africa
