Carved from a single block of wood, this 62-inch Senufo hornbill figure from West Africa captures the sacred symbolism of the Sejen—a guardian of fertility and ancestral wisdom. Its long curved beak, outstretched wings, and incised motifs of turtles and birds represent the harmony of earth, water, and sky. The dry surface shows age cracks and natural wear consistent with mid-20th-century carving, enhancing its presence and authenticity.
