Description

Horse Stool

Tribe: Baga

Country: Guinea

Material: Wood, Pigment

Size: 40" Tall x 20" Deep x 17" Wide

Age: 20th century

The use of the horse in the sculpture of the patriarchy is a symbol of Baga adaptation to changing political conditions at the highest ritual level. The Baga of the twentieth century were introduced to the horse with the coming of the mounted French commandant. Overlaid with existing symbolism known to the Baga, the horse was ultimately a symbol of power and invincibilty.
