Mali, Tellem Figur mit erhobenen Armen Holz, vollständig überzogen mit einer dicken Patina aus Opfermaterialien Die erhobenen Arme der Tellem-Figuren werden sowohl als Geste der Bitte um Regen als auch im Zusammenhang mit dem kosmogonischen Mythos von Nommos Opfer und Auferstehung gedeutet. Für Figuren mit erhobenen Armen und zusammengeführten Händen führen de Grunne und Déhan die Deutung an, dass Nommo den verborgenen Schöpfergott Amma bittet, sich zu zeigen (vgl. de Grunne & Déhan 2023, pp. 37f).
