Pulley - Wood - Baule - Ivory Coast

Description

Title: Pulley - Wood - Baule - Ivory Coast

Description: A Baule heddle pulley with head and ornaments. In the art of the Baule, decorations have a meaning and can be found on everyday objects such as vessels, staffs and today's heddle seat. These objects are still used in weaving the dense, colorful fabrics that characterize Central West Africa, and artisans seldom miss an opportunity to decorate these everyday objects with naturalistic or geometric motifs, elevating them into outstanding works of art in their own right. Object: Pulley Ethnic group/ culture: Baule Region/ country: Ivory Coast Material: Wood. Condition: Good. Dimensions: 23 x 7 x 5 cm Weight: 125 g Combined shipping possible.
