About the Item

‘Chi Wara’ are danced in male and female pairs, a marvelous statement of the complementary nature of life. The dances are performed by vigorous young men in the fields while a chorus of women sing the praises of the ideal farmer. According to Bamana legend, Chi Wara used his antlers to dig into the earth, making it possible for humans to cultivate the land. Humans watched Chi Wara and then tilled their own soil. Chi Wara used his hoofs to cover the seeds, and humans, observing closely, became experts at planting seeds. Few objects are so generally identified with African ritual as the Bamana Chi Wara crest mask. This tradition remains one of the most widely recognised forms in all of African art. Zawadi offers a wide range of bronze sculptures, which have been carefully selected for the discerning buyer. We used the “lost wax” technique in casting, which is the preferred method, as it brings out every little detail of the original sculpture. Our bronze sculptures have added features that put them above the rest, such as treating them with a nano-technology protective coating, that protects and enhances the shine, felt pads underneath to prevent scratching surfaces, etc. We take great care in making sure our sculptures are of the finest quality, to ensure many years of enjoyment !
