Description
Hand carved Antique African Crocodile, Toucan Baule Door Ivory Coast. The door has peg or pin-style hinges on one side. It has a wonderful deep rich patina color. This will be a great addition to your African art collection and can be hung on a wall as a great ethnic art piece, it could also be hung horizontally using the hinge pins supported by hooks or hung vertically using L hooks/brackets. Baule doors share the careful execution usually characteristic of other Baule sculpture. Unlike most of the Baule masks and figures, however, the doors were not secretive and were always on view. The elegant low reliefs depict figures, heads, crocodiles, birds, objects and abstract patterns. There is precision and balanced asymmetry in these permanent displays of Baule artistic skill. Often used as doors to inner rooms, they do not show the wear of exposure to the elements. Measures 26.5" wide, 2" deep and 58.5" high. Weight 28 lbs. Provenance: The Hamill Gallery of Tribal Art. Roxbury, Mass.
