The beautiful form of this female pombibele is created by long, tubular legs bowed at the middle, an elongated torso, small buttocks, and a high-crested coiffure. Scarification includes a pair of double horizontal short slashes on either side of the lips, an arrangement of four groups having four vertical and horizontal lines radiating around the navel, and a pair of four vertical lines on the breasts. Her hands are cupped pointing horizontally, flanking the abdomen to emphasize the area of the womb. The crested coiffure has two peaked triangular “shields” at front and back. Though human in form, the pombibele sculptures represent bush spirits who inhabit the savanna, forests, fields, and streams around the village. They are owned by diviners and demand offerings to ward off illness or disaster. They are often found in pairs to symbolize the primordial couple and the ideal social unit. When their intervention is required, for instance, at the funeral of a high-ranking poro society member, their entry into the village is heralded by pounding the solid base on the ground. This pombibele represents the purity of style and elegant lines for which the Senufo artists are famous.
