Catalogue Note
Les emblèmes sonkalani de la société initiatique du Jo sont rares. Selon Kate Ezra (1986, p. 21 et 22), ils étaient "tenus par les danseurs qui parfois les posaient sur le sol, dans l'aire de danse". A l'élégance du buste féminin dont le visage traduit l'idéal de beauté Bamana et le style de la région de Koulikoro s'oppose la force de la charge rituelle enveloppant la base et contenue dans une ligature en fibres végétales. Voir Colleyn (2002, p. 138) et Ezra (idem), pour les trois pièces comparables publiées.
