Equestrian Figure, Putchu Guinadji
Kotoko, Chad
Silver
Early 20th century

Putchu Guinadji are the horse and rider who fight the demons attacking a mad person. The horsemen are usually worn on a string or leather band under the arm and under clothing, concealed from other people.

This piece is not only aesthetically correct, but also beautiful. The four legs of the horse have been condensed into two abstract curved shapes. As a work of art, this piece is a complete success.

The smooth surfaces on the sides and the sharp vertical points are the result of years of sand washing.
