Description
Baoulé Motherhood Ivory Coast Wood with a crusty patina, adorned with red beads 20th century This Baoulé sculpture depicts a female figure carrying a child, an idealised image of motherhood and the continuity of the family within Baoulé society. The supple modelling of the forms, the frontal orientation of the pose and the attention to bodily detail reflect the aesthetic criteria specific to this art form, in which formal harmony embodies an ideal of beauty and balance. These figures, often associated with the domestic sphere or concerns relating to fertility, bear witness to the central role of women in the transmission of life and social values. H: 32 cm Provenance: Former French private collection. Expert: Pierre MOLLFULLEDA [email protected] Please request condition reports: these are not included in the descriptions.
