Bambara Horse Head

Bambara Horse Head Carving from West Africa

Make a memorable statement with this beautifully carved Bambara horse head, a distinctive piece of African art associated with the Bambara people of Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal.

The horse head features carefully carved details and decorative brass plates across the neck and face. In Bambara cultural tradition, horse figures are connected with initiation ceremonies, where young men carried horse heads mounted on poles.
