Baule Carved Sculpture - 118.2
A hand-carved Baule figure from the Ivory Coast, worked from indigenous wood. Figures like this sit at the heart of Baule spiritual life, believed to hold ancestral presence and to act as a link with the unseen world. Carved with balanced proportions and a calm expression, they reflect Baule ideals of harmony, beauty and order, and were turned to in times of uncertainty as mediators between the living and the spirits.
A piece with real artistic refinement and cultural depth.
Size: H 35cm × W 8cm × D 7cm.
