Object: Rare Kissi/Sherbro Figural Container Piamdo
Size: 16"
Age: 19th Century
Provenance: Private American Collection
Notes: This is a very rare example. The lighter patina of the
'body' is due to the fact that these objects were covered in a
burlap sack to protect the stone Kissi pomdo that was once
inside the belly. There are areas of ritual abrasion on the
mouth and nose.
Price: Price upon request
