Like most African artifacts, this piece was created to be beautiful even as it decorated something mundane. For the woodcarvers, the presence of a figure displayed on a loom served to advertise their skills, since the weavers work highly visibly in open-air markets. We love the slender grace of the shape, purely for sculptural purpose.
