Wuro is the supreme creator god of the Bobo (Bobo-Fing / Bobo Madaré), a Mande people of western Burkina Faso and Mali. He is held to be wholly unrepresentable and is never depicted in sculpture or described in human terms, such representation being considered impossible and profane. Bobo cosmogony recounts that Wuro shaped the world from a primordial ball of mud and ordered all things into balanced, opposing pairs — village and bush, domesticated and wild, male and female, culture and nature, farmer and blacksmith, human and spirit — the equilibrium of which is precarious and easily disturbed by human action such as harvesting crops from the bush. When creation was complete and humans had to assume their own destiny, Wuro withdrew from the world but left behind a part of himself, his son Dwo, so that a relationship between humanity and the creator would endure. The Bobo distinguish two great epochs: the time of Wuro, when the universe was made, and historical time, which began when Wuro gave humanity Dwo.
