Lobi use snakes like this tied to their calves to protect them from snake bite and lightning. The snake is a prominent theme in the area along the Niger river and among the Dogon (see their art and imagery of masks and the rock shelter paintings and especially their doors.) Some Dogon assert that the snakes on doors represent their ancestors because of the fact that they shed their skin each year and are thus 'reborn'. This would make a wonderful addition to your home and collection.
