The Lobi people of Burkina Faso and Ghana hold a deep reverence for the Thil spirits and construct various shrines in their honor.They serve as a vital connection between the villagers and the Thil, contributing to the harmony of the village. Despite its crude and simple appearance, Lobi art has gained popularity among collectors due to its profound significance. As the Lobi have always known, ornateness and embellishment are not necessary for invoking the heavens or stirring one.
