Description
Some of the most important art of the Malinke is the oral art, songs, and epic poems sung by the griots playing a kora musical instrument. In former times it was common for the blacksmiths to forge ornamental oil lamps from iron and large iron door locks, as well as fanciful iron figures of spirits or animals to crown the staffs; the blacksmiths also carved wooden chiars, figures and masks. These artistic endeavors are less common today.
This chair has beautiful metal decorations. The seat is warped and has multiple cracks throughout. Not meant to be sat in.
