Baulé (Ivory Coast)
Hardwood with a dark coating H 51 cm Female figure. It represents a female figure with a hairstyle constructed from two large locks, each different to the other, a detail that identifies the grand masters of Baulé.This model bears witness to an unusual style of Baulé art, because the figure is sculpted with full volumes. She faces the front with her feet resting on a circular pedestal. Her arms are away from her body and the face is grafted onto the strong neck. Her hands, positioned resting on her stomach, captures a gesture that the Baulé consider to be a sign of peace. It is found in almost all Baulé figures depicted standing up.A beautiful dark coating shows it has been used for a long time, confirmed by the wear in the wood and the numerous traces of sacrificial substances. Several tattoos are present on the neck and back. A ring of glass beads surrounds the right leg. There are traces of green rust left by three copper tacks which had originally been applied on the forehead and temples.
