Caratteristico Pendente in bronzo a forma di pesce siluro.
Tipico abitante dei grandi fiumi, questo pesce, durante i periodi di siccità, vive acciambellato sul fondale all’interno di buche umide. Questa sua abituale posizione lo rende simile ad un feto e, per questo motivo ed anche per il suo particolare sistema respiratorio che lo associa sia ai pesci sia ai mammiferi, viene considerato un’entità della mitologia delle popolazioni indigene, soprattutto per i Dogon. Chiamato Aná-kònnó, ha un ruolo fondamentale nei riti legati alla riproduzione umana ed alla coltura di alcune piante.
Non necessariamente indossabile, può essere anche semplicemente oggetto da collezione.

Characteristic bronze Pendant in the shape of a catfish.
Typical inhabitant of large rivers, this fish lives curled up inside humid holes located on the riverbed during periods of drought. The position it assumes during these times it is similar to one usually associated with the human fetus and for this very reason -and also for its unique respiratory system which links it to both fish and mammals- it is considered an entity of the mythology of the indigenous people, especially for the Dogons. Called Aná-kònnó, this fish has a key role in the rituals related to the human reproduction and the cultivation of certain plants.
Not necessarily wearable, it may also simply be a collector’s item.
