Text of the original catalogue

They are implanted in northern Ghana and mainly in Togo. They work iron, producing small statuettes, in stylized anthropomorphic forms, destined for divination. They also produce tillage instruments and iron bells that must be beaten with a wooden hammer and that will serve to mark the rhythms of divinatory rites. Its most well-known production is its statuettes called tchitchiri of simple and rudimentary structure, of rounded shapes, almost spherical head and cylindrical body. They are protective figures and represent ancestors.
