Description
Female statuette
Standing with knees slightly bent, the rounded shapes of her calves and hips accentuate her harmonious balance. Her round belly, a symbol of fertility, is highlighted by her hands delicately placed on it. Raised scarification marks adorn her body, while her finely sculpted face expresses serene determination.
Hardwood, old brown patina, shiny in places.
Baule, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire
Height: 27.5cm
These female statues, part of Baule traditions, were associated with notions of fertility and protection, and played a role in family and lineage rites.
