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. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention on

Lobi Tribe Africana Knife Bell Antique Sickle Sigh Weapon Burkina Faso Africa
Authentic lobi tribe from today's Ghana region. Acquired in the forties from a major collector named coffee in NY. The item is from 1880-1920 before the tribe was dispersed. It is authentic and very unique. It is like a knife and a sickle with a bell in the handle. Out of thousands of items I picked this one of a kind item. It is very interesting and ironic that you would attack someone with a bell in the handle( kind of blow your cover) No really. I think it was for a shepherd of some kind that would hewn down wheat or another crop as he could shake the bell to call in his flock. Crude craftsmanship.

They are a link between the villagers and the Thil, and thus are essential to the harmony of the village. Lobi art, crude and earthy, yet profound in its own way, has gained increasing popularity among collectors. As the Lobi have always known, refinement and decoration are not required to stir the heavens, or move one's soul.

The necklace has been created around a Bateba doll from the Lobi Tribe in Burkina Faso. Batebas are protective talismans. Dolls made to protect their owner, sculpted from wood. This Bateba is about 80 years old. I have not damaged it in any way. The necklace is held by a 18k gold wire around the dolls neck. Several layers of tiny beads can be wound around the neck of the doll, however they are loose and can be taken off! The necklace is kept simple not to detract from the beauty of the old statue.

*** A VERY POWERFUL & EARLY LOBI BATEBA ***
A VERY POWERFUL& EARLY LOBI BATEBA* Country: Burkina Faso Description: A haunting Lobi Beteba bust with an extremely old and weathered patina. Strong facial features with arms to the side and hands resting on the belly. A very strong piece. The Lobi people inhabit an area at the meeting point of three countries: Burkina Faso. Ghana and Ivory Coast. The Lobi migrated to Burkina Faso in successive waves from northwestern Ghana, from the 18th to the end of the 19th centuries. In the past they were hunters and gatherers, now they are farmers, struggling for existence in the dry avannah. They are still moving southward, in search of more fertile soil for their slash and burn agriculture. They also raise goats, sheep, cattle and a great variety of fowl. During the dry season, when they cannot work in the fields, men build and repair houses ... moreand granaries, carve wooden sculptures and make musical instruments, such as the balophon. Women make pottery and baskets and work the marketplace. Like most West African peoples. The Lobi believe that the universe is composed of a creator god, a host of supernatural creatures, and living and dead human beings. The structure of the universe is pyramidal. God, Tangba, is at the pinnacle, human beings are at the base. Under Tangba are the Thila, spirits with human characteristics. Below the Thila, but above human beings, are the spirits of the bush, the Kontuossi. The Lobi relate to the supernatural world– the Thila and the Kontuossi– by means of the Bateba, statuettes of wood, clay or metal, made by village craftsmen. From the moment they are offered to a Thil or set upon an altar, they are thought to be living beings, able to protect humans and help them in many ways. Bateba range in size from a few inches to a few feet. Larger Bateba are placed upon village altars. Smaller figures. For personal use, are placed upon the household shrine, carried about in the clothin

Offerings and prayers are made to them while the Bateba communicate through diviners and sorcerers to their owners. Diviners seek to determine the cause of events and to propitiate the spirits use Bateba figures contacting them through offerings and magical formulae. Recommended Reading: Giovanni Franco Scanzi.

Birifor, Dagara, Dorossy, Dyan, Gan and Tenbo/Loron. Although traditions may vary slightly between clans, they share a common sense of identity and traits such as living in distinctive mud defensive compounds, using poisoned bows and arrows to fend off attackers, a sharing of initiation rites and animist beliefs that vigorously pay reverence to the spiritual world, families that are often determined by female lineage, and their craftsmenship of wooden statues which are often worshipped. The name Lobi originates from two Lobiri words lou(meaning forest) and bi(meaning children) Literally"Children of the forest" who settled initially on the left bank of the Mouhoun River or the Black Volta dividing Burkina and Ghana who ventured into Burkina Faso.
