The sculptures are miniature renditions of Sogo Bo masquerade puppets used in ceremonies. The young men's association is responsible for the masquerades after the harvest is finished. The puppets (fish sculptures) are used in competitions to find the best performers. The Bozo people are also known as "masters of the river" and their culture and artwork centres around their interaction with the Niger River. The puppets make stunning pieces of art for your home and each one is very different to the next. As with all our interior design products they are hand made and totally bespoke to each other made from nature. Size: H 31cm W 43cm D 16cm Kola Wood Stand Included. See less
