Description
Baule Figure Blolo bla Ivory Coast
H: 34.5 cm (approx. 1' 2'')
Estimated age: first half of the 20th century
Provenance: French private collection
Baule figures answer to two types of devotion: one depicts the ''spiritual'' spouse who, in order to be appeased, requires the creation of a shrine in the individual's personal hut. A man owns his spouse, the blolo bian, and a woman her spouse, the blolo bla. A nicely carved female Baule figure with an elaborate coiffure as well as scarifications on the face and body. Wood with dark brown patina.
