Catalogue Note
La statuaire des groupes culturels répartis en pays Lobi s'articule en plusieurs grandes tendances stylistiques parmi lesquelles s'impose, issu de la région de Mbala, un style archétypal Lobi superbement illustré ici. La figure campée dans un aplomb remarquable, la plénitude des formes et la fermeté des galbes, les grands yeux saillants et la bouche fermée aux lèvres tendues, permettent de la rattacher au style identifié par Daniela Bognolo (2007, p. 63 et 130) de « Tinkhiero », fondé par le sculpteur Lobi Karinthé Kambiré (ca. 1850-1910).
Elle faisait vraisemblablement partie d'un couple de thilkotina, supports cultuels du lignage. cf. Bognolo (2007, pl. 1) pour une statue stylistiquement apparentée.
