Old repaired Fulani calabash 09.01.1658

The calabash is symbolically the woman's womb. A natural, organic object, directly created by God in the image of the original placenta that contained the graphic signs, it is "of life", and the signs that cover it have meaning. They command the "things" they mean, and the craftsman of the motifs, in their layout, does a work that recalls the divine work.
