Item Details

Description

Origin: Baoule. Nigeria.

Date: Second half of the 20th Century.

Materials: Wood, rope and sacrificial material.

Size: "Height 38 cm. Width 13 cm. Depth 11 cm. "

Baule figures can be among the most elegant and designed pieces in Africa. Many show careful execution of face, coiffure and scarification details, with refined forms but no loss of expressiveness and power. The quiet, dignified figures can embody a nature spirit, asie usu, or serve as a spiritual spouse, blolo bian or blolo bla; either must be placated with care. They functioned as the home of a spirit to whom sacrifices were made. Ours range from small, delicate, simple pieces to several larger, more powerful figures.
