The Chi waras are wood carvings of antelope done by the Bambara of Mali. The most common form
is the male, but they were also carved as pairs and more rarely as female antelope. As does the Bambara mother, the
mother chi wara carries her baby on her back. There are two major styles, the vertical and the horizontal.
These are photos converted to silhouettes and presented in different
ways to highlight the design.
