Story behind the product~ Bird figures are among the many art forms associated with Poro, a society of initiated Senufo men. In some Senufo villages, the bird sculptures are kept in the sacred grove of Poro, where they stand guard protecting the members. Poro and its art forms continue to play roles in Senufo society, although the bird figures have become rare. Senufo bird figures refer to both the physical and intellectual aspects of life, which together assure the continuation of the community.
The bird has been hand carved from one piece of wood, with detailing of elaborate brass work showcased across its wings and belly. Each Kalau Bird is a unique artefact. They have been passed down through the generations, a possession with a story and rich history. If you would like specific images, please ask.
