| Baule standing maternity figure, Ivory Coast 18.5" tall wood, pigment Currently being offered on eBay - CLICK HERE A nicely carved figure with an elaborate hairstlye and scarification patterns. I especially like the pose of the child with its head looking up at the mother and one arm reaching up towards her while the other is bent and resting on its stomach. Despite its appearance, this object shows no real signs of age or use. It is my opinion that this object was most likely carved specifically for the collecting market. |
