Old Lobi Brass Divination Ring of Two Chameleons-AFRICA An old tribally used Lobi brass divination ring representing two chameleons. Symbol of duality. ... moreThe chameleon is a very popular motif and an important representational symbol as it has a relevant place in the cosmic order; its physical features and behavior are transposed and serve as images for the initiator's teachings. Due to its physically mutating nature. The chameleon's tremendous facility of adaptability to its surroundings and predators is a symbol of wisdom. This type of ring is not intended to be worn daily but rather is brought to the diviner by the person consulting him. It is not uncommon that the fetisher may tell his client that he must carry out a particular type of sacrifice to the chameleon in order to resolve his problem. The chameleons are detailed with cowrie-shaped eyes and are believed to possess extremely powerful eyesight. Created using the old tradition of the"lost wax" process. Each piece is original and unique as the mold is destroyed after each casting. Superb usage and age patina characteristic of worn and used old brass pieces- Collected in Burkina Faso.

Wonderful Older carved Lobi African Reclining Stool Nice Lines Rich Patina NR
For sale is a Lobi reclining stool that I bought at an estate sale about 8 years ago in the Washington DC area. It’s a beautiful piece with lots of character. Take a look at the photos. The Lobi are an ethnic group that originated in what is today Ghana. This is a used piece with nice patina and wear from where the user sat. It’s carved from one piece of wood and in some places is several inches thick. It has three squat legs– two in front and one in back. The reclining neck piece as a notched. Zigzag design and looks a bit like a geometric animal is you look at it one way and a guitar neck if you look at it another. You can see the worn blade marks in some places from the axe or adze used to shape its surface. In some places the wood is over 3 inches thick. At the tallest it stands about 10.5 inches tall(26.7 cm) and it’s about 20 inches ... morelong(50.1 cm) and 5.5 inches wide(14 cm) This has some age and use to it… in a good way. The wood is worn smooth on the face from being sat on. There are some scratches. But most of them are smoothed from the usage. There are some tight cracks(see the photos) but everything is very solid. There are two holes through the body that I think were old knots and probably there from its creation. And, one edge has gnawing from termites or something similar. The photos show everything. And I'm also selling an interesting pair of Yoruba bronze male female figures. If you have any questions. Let me know. Take care. Jack

The"bateba, which range in size from four to twenty inches, are believed ... moreto embody the Thil spirits. They are looked upon as living beings, charged with special powers, who move, fight against witches, and have intercourse with each other. 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. Recommended Reading: See AFRICAN ART: ITS BACKGROUND AND TRADITIONS. By Wassing.

BACKGROUND The Lobi migrated into Burkina ... moreFaso 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 art also consist of much utilitarian objects including flutes, containers and stools. These stools are sometimes decorated with human or animal head. The type with three leg supports implicate phallic connotation. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art and had been profoundly influenced by it. Shortly afterwards I bought the Baule Fetish and the Baule bobbin which are still two of the finest pieces in my collection. It is easy to see why I b

Damage/Repair, Extensive wear. Chips and age cracks in several places, stain, stand missing, Additional Information: ... moreThis superb carved sculpture of a female is identified to the Daagari people who are a small ethnic group who today live in south west Burkina Faso spilling over into northern Ghana. The Daagari share language and culture with their neighbors the Lobi. Little is known about their art. And since the Daagari have recently converted to Islam art objects are extremely rare. The squat form of the male figure with its abstracted face and light colored wood shares with certain stylistic traits with the Fante of coastal Ghana, however there is a great deal of distance and time between the Daagari and the Fante. The closest prominent art-producing peoples to the Daagari are the Lobi with whom this figure shares some style elements. That it is an old figure cannot be doubted, and there are indications that offerings were poured over the head in the not too distant past. It is a large, simple and powerfully sculpted figure and would hold a prominent place in any collection. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi.

The Lobi are known for their sculptural dynamic figures with upraised arms called Batela Yadawara or sad Batela or Bateba Ti Puo(dangerous Bateba) Lobi carvers were inventive and apparently expressive in their sculptures. Bateba spirits are represented by male and female sculptures that are grouped around family or personal shrines in multiples of figures and paired as male and female. 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.

Who live in Burkina Faso and Ghana, revere spirits known as Thil, and build shrines to them, which are filled with figures like this one. These figures, known as Bateba, are believed to embody the Thil spirits. The Bateba are looked upon as living beings charged with special powers who move, fight against witches, and have intercourse with each other. The Lobi believe that the Bateba are superior to humans, but inferior to the Thil spirits, so the Bateba is first activated by putting it in a Thil shrine. The Bateba keep sorcerers away, and help the Thil ward off misfortune. They also play a role in the divination system.

Lobi Tribe Africana Knife Bell Antique Sickle Sigh Weapon Authentic
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. Call me if you want to know more or text 801-708-7685 Eric Posted with eBay Mobile Weighs 17.8 oz. and is 14.5 tall
