Baoulé Female Figure, Ivory Coast - Lot 193
Baoulé Female Figure, Ivory Coast
Female figure attributed to the Baoulé of Côte d’Ivoire, dating from the mid-20th century. Carved from dense wood with a dark patina, it depicts a woman standing on a small base, her legs slightly bent and her hands resting on either side of her abdomen. The elongated face features almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, a narrow mouth, and geometric scarifications on the forehead and temples. The elaborate hairstyle, arranged in high, striated sections, along with the long, ringed neck and the incised motifs on the torso and back, are characteristic of Baoulé sculpture. The figure is mounted on a black wooden base. It has a patina resulting from use, with scuffs, small scratches, surface wear, and old deposits.
