Description
BAOULÉ, Côte d’Ivoire Male figure with pronounced joints, hands with fingers fanned out, symbolically resting on the upper abdomen Hardwood, original brown and honey-coloured lacquered patina, glossy in places. Height: 44 cm Length: 9 cm Note: The figure adopts a hieratic posture characteristic of Baoulé statuary: hands drawn back to the abdomen, a scarified body and a carefully arranged trilobed headdress. The broad, spatula-shaped feet resting on a circular plinth emphasise the stability and frontal orientation of the piece as a whole. The headdress, scarifications and idealised beauty all contribute to the expression of status and the qualities sought after in Baoulé human representation.
