Chi Wara

 The Bamana Chi Wara is a legendary figure in both African art and ethnic folklore.  These carvings represent an abstraction of the antelope and are used as decoration in ritual harvest ceremonies.  The Chi Wara is believed to instill social values and teach agricultural techniques to the young Bamana men.
