About the sculpture
In traditional Senufo culture the principal women's social and religious secret association is Tyekpa, which primarily acts as a funerary society for honoring the dead. This sculpture of an idealized Senufo woman is known as pombibele and is carried on the head of a senior female initiate during funeral dances held for a recently deceased member of the Tyekpa society.
