Warri Board Game
Warri is a board game, variants of which are played all over Africa. The Sierra Leone version consists of a carved wooden board in which two rows of six cups are set alongside one another, with two larger receptacles at either end. It is played by distributing counters anti-clockwise. This one is a particularly fine example, with the standard boat-shaped board being supported by two carved male figures. It is complete with 49 bean counters, and one seed.
