Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Baule Female Figure, 20th century



Beschreibung : Additional Information: This elegantly carved female figure comes from the Baule people of Ivory Coast well known for the quality and detail of their carving. This figure would be well placed in any collection. It is a interesting figure without  ,the usually scarification found on many Baule figures and in a flattening shape in front and in the back.  ,She may be a blolo bla , a  ,lover spirit spouse, a representation of the physical being with whom the male could have sexual relations in his thoughts. Idealized spirit lovers have emotions as do humans and can become angry with their real world lover who then must assuage their irritation with them. As a result, female figures such as this were placed in a person's shrine upon recommendation of a diviner to resolve problems that a male might have in relations with women.This figure reflects the Baule aesthetic of idealized beauty for the carving of the spirit lover must be as beautiful in her sculptural form as she is in her life in the spirit world. The figure need not be a photographic copy of the spirit lover but must reflect Baule ideals of beauty of the figure in the prime of her life, physically mature neither too young nor too old but in a perfect and healthy state of being. This figure shows a unique style not often found on Baule figures these days. Its simplicity is stunning. , Recommended Reading: P. L.
