Image description

Côte d'Ivoire. Figures such as this mi iri ni 'Small wooden people' were used by the Guro as sacred intermediaries between the human and supernatural realms. Placed against the back walls of a shrine house to receive prayers and offerings of eggs and kola nuts, they were asked to carry messages in the forms of dreams from protective spirits called zuzu to help the living solve problems.
