Mossi sculptures are famous for several objects including polychrome large mask, statues and beautiful fertility dolls. Mossi dolls are stylized female figures, carved in a cylindrical format, with an extremely narrow semicircular head.

BACKGROUND The Lobi migrated into Burkina Faso from present day Ghana around 1770.

Although Lobi villages are often very independent and so politically disorganized, they managed to put up a strong resistance to French colonialization. They revere spirits known as Thil. Shrines are built to these spirits under the instruction of a sorcerer and placed either on the roof or inside the home and are filed with objects such as vessels, abstract iron figures, stone and wood figures known as Bateba, which are believe to embody the Thil spirits. Lobi Bateba figures may be small or very large in size. They typically have slightly bent legs with roughly carved feet and an enlarged head with a high smooth or grooved coiffure. Some type of Bateba may be carved with different postures corresponding to various Thil. Statues with single raised arm symbolize a dangerous Thil, while copulating couples or maternity figures are believed to enhance the fertility of women living in the house.

The Nakomse are the descendants of the cavalry who invaded and conquered the traditional home of the Nyonyose who were the descendant of the agrarian occupants of the area long before the invasion from the South.

Burkina Faso Lobi Bateba Figure,Weathered Nice Cute Statue.
Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Burkina Faso Lobi Bateba Figure Normal 0 0 1 87 499 4 1 612 11.1539 0 0 0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Dimensions Height– 29.5cm(11.6” Width– 5.5cm(2.1” This interesting figure acts as an intermediary between the physical and spiritual world. Piet Meyer stated in his 1981 publication"The objects defend the territory against evil intruders like witches and sorcerers. Their jurisdiction of the shrine on which they are placed extends generally to the house of the extended family" he goes on to say that these figures sometimes represent"returned people" Ancestors who died many years ago and have come back to protect their living family– although it should be noted that this point is argued by some. The Lobi people do not usually have craft men who are exclusively carvers– ... moregenerally they are carvers and farming. It is felt that this is the reason that their carving does not always have the same high finished look that carving from tribes such as the Yoruba of Nigeria.

Damage/Repair, general wear Additional Information: A wooden whistle/flute decorated with a kneeling female figure. One of the most common musical instruments found among ... morethe various people of Burkina Faso is the top blown flute. Flutes are widely traded and therefore often difficult to attribute to one group or another. Lobi. Bwa, Bobo, Nuna, Senufo, Gurunsi, Mossi and so forth have produced similar flutes. Our example came with the label of Lobi flute. This is a well used example from the wear around the mouthpiece and on the surface. Across Burkina Faso flutes such as this were during mask dances. For hunting or war. Whistles such as this are played either singly or in concert with other instruments such as the long chord drums, the calabash drums, horns, iron gongs, finger bells, and small bells. The player will hold the flute close to the lower lip and blown across to produce a pleasant high pitched tone. Often used by men and boys during ceremonies and dance masks they are integral parts of social life and serve to provide musical support to important rites of passage for young and old. They accompany ceremonies in close association with local languages which are tonal and match language patterns.

BACKGROUND The Lobi migrated into Burkina Faso from present day Ghana around 1770. And many of them crossed the border into contemporary Côte d'Ivoire over the next hundred years or so in search of uncultivated lands. Although Lobi villages are often very independent and so politically disorganized, they managed to put up a strong resistance to French colonialization. They revere spirits known as Thil. Shrines are built to these spirits under the instruction of a sorcerer and placed either on the roof or inside the home and are filed with objects such as vessels, abstract iron figures, stone and wood figures known as Bateba, which are believe to embody the Thil spirits. Lobi Bateba figures may be small or very large in size. They typically have slightly bent legs with roughly carved feet and an enlarged head with a high smooth or grooved coiffure. Some type of Bateba may be carved with different postures corresponding to various Thil. Statues with single raised arm symbolize a dangerous Thil, while copulating couples or maternity figures are believed to enhance the fertility of women living in the house.
