Baule figure
West African Baule art
This Baule African statue perfectly sums up the beauty embodied in Baule art, but above all the care taken by sculptors to honour a feared genius or a highly respected personality.
With her hands resting on her belly and proudly standing on her strong legs, this ambassador of West African art exudes finesse and power. Beautiful hairstyle with finely chiselled lobes, broad shoulders, beautiful fall of the loins and chubby calves, a beautiful and successful representation which corresponds perfectly to the stylistic canons of the Baule around 1950 - 1960, whose patina of use testifies to a concrete ritual use.
