A Lobi Maternity of Sib Koukouré, Burkina Faso, Latara, close to Kampti, dead since 2011,
This sculpture was a personal gift to wj, outside of any ritual use.

According of Daniela Bognolo Sib Koukouré isn´t alive anymore (1955 - 2003 -Visions of Africa, Lobi, 2007; 59) but we found him still going strong in Latara and he gave us detail informations about Palé Nifouthé, who died 1966 in an age about 70 years.
