EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sejen Bird Figure from Ivory Coast, a remarkable wooden sculpture created by the African School. Standing at a height of 31 cm, this tribal artifact is an integral part of the Senufo culture and is associated with initiation rituals within the Poro society. The Sejen Bird Figure features intricately painted wings and a distinctive hooked beak, which adds to its allure. This side view captures its striking form and highlights the craftsmanship involved in its creation. The statue exudes a sense of mystery and reverence, serving as a powerful ritual object within its cultural context. The photograph, taken by Heini Schneebeli and part of a private collection, beautifully captures every detail of this significant piece. It allows viewers to appreciate not only the visual aesthetics but also gain insight into West African traditions and beliefs. As we delve into this image from Fine Art Finder's collection provided by Bridgeman Images, it's important to acknowledge that it represents more than just an artistic representation; it symbolizes centuries-old customs passed down through generations. The Sejen Bird Figure serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found in Ivory Coast and invites us to explore further into these fascinating traditions.
