This is a Beautiful Carved Wood Male Chi Wara from the Bamana Tribe, Mali. The Chi Wara represent and honor the mythological half man/half antelope hero who taught man how to cultivate the soil. They were danced in pairs and celebrate the union of male (sun), female (earth) and fibre costume (rain), signifying the cooperation needed for a successful harvest and community survival. They are worn as headdresses and danced as pairs. This Chi Wara would be a wonderful addition to your collection or home.
