Story behind the product ~ The

serpentBaga (Baga Snake), Kalimbe, or Bansonyi, refers to a protective spirit manifested in the form of a snake that presides over male initiation ceremonies among the Baga culture in Guinea, West Africa. Typically, during the days preceding the initiation ceremonies, two carved Bansonyies appear in the village and are decorated with streamers and colorful banners. Baga Serpents (or Baga Snakes) are extremely valuable and sought after by collectors. We only have one of each size available, they look fabulous as a pair.
