Description
Baule female statuette. Ivory Coast; Hardwood, with a beautiful, antique brown lacquered patina with subtle variations, and red highlights along the edges. Patina resulting from use. Age-related cracks. Damage and losses at the base; H: 41 cm A female figure with delicate features, holding her breasts as if in offering. The body is slender and elongated. The head features a high, rounded forehead, half-closed eyes, a long, slender nose and a thin, pouting mouth. The cheeks and forehead are incised; the headdress, with three buns, is engraved with lines. The lighter patina on the buttocks indicates that this statuette was once clothed (and therefore dates from before 1920) A sense of gentleness emanates from this sculpture. Provenance - Formerly in the collection of Jean Marie GIBBAL, researcher at the CNRS Expert: Bruno FREY. Expert at the CEA.
