Catalogue Note
Ces deux poulies déclinent, chacune avec majesté, le thème de l'oiseau - iconographie privilégiée des poulies Sénufo. Il y symbolise le caractère mythique du tissage dont la technique fut révélée à l'homme, après la Création, par les héros du panthéon Sénufo. Patine brune, nuancée, légèrement grumeleuse dans les creux.
