DHODRO BANAM

Private French collection

This very expressive head is topped by a group of three riders dressed in textiles, likely representing hereditary chiefs. Her arms appear to be opening her chest.

The oval part, covered with goat skin, represents the stomach, while the open part symbolises the chest. The handle serves as the neck, and the head, with its pegs, represents the ears.
