Ancient, atypical LOBI, Burkina Faso, mid-20th century

Unusual, old, atypical LOBI from Burkina Faso. From the most northern area of the Lobi. The beautiful use- and aging patina immediately catches the eye. An atmospheric object in an unusual position. Look carefully to the photos to see its condition. Some damage by termites on the left side of the head.
