20th C. African Akan Wood Slingshot w/ Female Figure

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Western Africa, Ghana, Akan peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden slingshot with a forked sling attachment and a handle depicting a seated woman. The figure rests upon an integral stool, clothed but with pointed breasts and her arms held upward to form the base of the prongs. The stylized head bears a rounded chin, a small nose between almond-shaped eyes, a wide brow line, and a neatly incised coiffure that forms two ridges across her scalp. Her skin is a rich brown, and the stool, prongs, and clothing are painted with red and white hues. Slingshots such as this were used for hunting and scaring away animals. A wonderful example from Western Africa! Size: 6.5" L x 1" W (16.5 cm x 2.5 cm)

Provenance: private Arcadia, California, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000; ex-Chicago, Illinois USA collection and Florida, USA collection, 1960s
