A sculpture from the Lobi ethnic group depicts a human figure integrated into a horse. The work is evocative and blends the two figures in a way that suggests various themes, from unity with nature to transformation. The texture of the wood gives the sculpture a rustic and organic appearance, characteristic of the bateba (wood-carved figures) of the Lobi tradition.
