 Burkina Faso is a small landlocked country in Western Africa, north of Ghana and bordered by Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Mali, Niger, and Togo. Formerly known as Upper Volta, Burkina Faso achieved independence from France in 1960.
Plagued by recurring droughts, desertification, overgrazing, soil degradation and deforestation, Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world with few natural resources, a weak industrial base with most (90%) of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture.

The Songhai Empire succeeded the declining Mali Empire and from the early 15th to the late 16th century was one of the largest African empires in history. The Songhai Empire was centered in eastern Mali and stretched through parts of present day Niger, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana, Senegal, Mauritania, and Guinea.
The first great king of Songhai was Sunni Ali, a Muslim like the Mali kings before him, who had derived great wealth through trade with Arabs. The Songhai Empire continued to be a strong trading economy with the goldfields of the Niger River a primary resource of the Songhai Empire. Gold was sometimes traded one to one for precious salt, a primary ingredient in food preservation.

The Lobi are an ethnic group that originated in what is today Ghana. Starting around 1770 many of the Lobi migrated into Burkina Faso and later into Côte d'Ivoire.
The Lobi carve many types of objects, ranging from every day items to figures that embody religious ideals. The “bateba” are recognized as living beings, which are placed on the shrines of “thila” and are able to communicate with one another and to fight off witches. [Art and Life in Africa]
