Iron snake of the Lobi from Burkina Faso. Quite large in this case and placed on a custom-made standard with magnets. The snake symbolizes harmony, connection and is reflected in all kinds of objects as a symbol of connection. So loose here. Was probably used as an altar statue. Good condition, see the photos.

Length: 30.7 cm
Weight complete: 223 grams
Origin: Burkina Faso
Date: circa 1960
Provenance: Obtained from a Flemish collection of Lobi objects. In my webshop several figurines from the same collection
