Catalogue Note

Voir  Wassing (African Art, 1968, pl. 78) pour un insigne cérémoniel yo dommolo très comparable dans la collection de la famille Raymond E. Britt, évoquant, selon William Fagg (1968, n°4), la tête stylisée d'un cheval, et dont les "oreilles", comme ici, sont signifiées par deux personnages stylisés. Profonde patine sombre, croûteuse.
