The word Colon collates to all the figures, which have been influenced by the colonial period. Not seldom the picture of the white man in the African culture opens up in pure caricature – but this form of “tribal art” also rightly has its charm.
Driven by the charm of the unknown, mixed with typical lineaments from the African way of art, the carvers have created many interesting figures.
This figure has some attributes that reminded us of the Dan people, especially the headdress might bring a proof for this assumption. The pink coloured skin actually means white skin due to the restriction that real white is the colour worn at funerals. |
