Baule anthropomorphic comb - Ivory Coast - first half of the 20th century Carved wooden comb with long tapered teeth topped by an anthropomorphic figure. The head features an oval face with almond-shaped eyes in slight relief, a straight nose and an incised mouth. The neck rests on an arched openwork structure forming an opening between the head and the functional part of the comb. The central area is decorated with a register of geometric motifs incised in diamond shapes and parallel hatching. This type of comb is associated with the Baoulé populations and was used both as a utilitarian object for hairstyling and as a personal ornament worn in the hair. Wood with a patina of use.
