Burkina Faso Hanging Bell
This minimal and elegant bell is well over a century old. It was collected in north Cote d’Ivoire and can be ascribed to the Senoufo or their close neighbors. The nature of iron in West Africa is that it travels from smelting sites to forges where raw iron was turned into tools, currencies and weapons to weekly markets . The form of this bell is unique in my experience. Ex collection Lucien Gueniguez (Abidjan-Paris-New York 1990’s). 9.5″ H.
