Description

Archaeological figurine of a known civilization from the 14th to the 17th century discovered in Northern Ghana in 1985.

This is a rare case of a civilization that disappeared but was found intact. The first excavations had the advantage of taking place in 1987 and 1988 on a sample of 1200 pieces allowing
a
global approach to the artistic corpus. This head had a funerary vocation. There is a cavity at the top of the skull allowing the deposit of charge.
