Magnificent example of an old LOBI slingshot from Burkina Faso sculpted representing a male character. These slingshots are carried by young boys to hunt birds and bats in the forest. The sculptures of these everyday objects are talismanic and often represent a spirit intended to protect the hunter and ensure a successful hunt! Very beautiful brown and shiny patina of use! Piece sold on a base.
