Baga Tribe Nimba Axe
This axe featuring the figure of Nimba, a prominent deity associated with feminine beauty, abundance and protection is an iconic artifact originating from the Baga people of Guinea, West Africa. The Nimba holds a significant cultural and spiritual importance within Baga society, often used in rituals, ceremonies and as a symbol of authority. It serves as both a functional tool and a symbol of power and tradition, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Baga people.
About the Tribe
The Baga people live in the swampy coastal region between Cape Verga and Guinea's capital, Conakry, in western Guinea, along the Guinea-Bissau coasts. They speak a language belonging to the Niger-Congo Atlantic branch family. To avoid conflict with the Fulbe Muslims, they moved from Guinea's interior highlands to the Guinean coast's geographically isolated lowlands.
