Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

An elegant female figure, the Blolo Bla, with a proud bearing, carved from dense wood, its patina lustrous from use. The face, imbued with great gentleness, features half-closed eyelids and exquisitely fine modeling, crowned by a delicately grooved hairstyle.
The body, harmoniously proportioned, reveals full and dynamic volumes: a high chest, powerful hips, and firmly planted legs. Remarkably, the statuette has retained its original leather loincloth.
Combining formal refinement, sculptural charm, and authenticity, this Baoulé work stands as a perfect representation of the brides of the afterlife celebrated by this people.

Dating: Mid-20th century.

Provenance: Austrian private collection.

Condition: Losses due to age and use; restoration to one arm.

Dimensions: Height: 31 cm (35 cm including base).
