Fine Baule Blolo Bla Male sculpture, African Art

Item Details

Description

Finely carved wooden Male ancestor sculpture from the Baule of Cote De Ivorie, Africa. Measures 17 1/2 inches tall. Buyer to pay for an 3 lb shipping weight. Probably not very old, but what a handsome and fine carving! Each man and woman is believed to have a spirit double or spouse that resides in the other world. If the spirit becomes angry, the human spouse commissions a carving to receive offerings. Cloths and jewellery are used to decorate the figure which is oiled regularly. The Baule believe that beauty helps promote fertility and avoid marital problems so the blolo bian has an elaborate hairstyle with intricate textured designs.
