Snake bracelet, Gan culture
Burkina Faso. 20th century
Bronze
Height: 17cm

The undulating forge represents the body; the size of the head underlines the importance of this mythical animal in Gan culture; wide and flat, it is scarified in different registers. The eyes are raised. The tip of the tail is coiled on itself.
The serpent is associated with the myth of Torfan; owning a Torfan grants the power to fight against evil.

Very good state
