"Maternity Baoulé Colon Ivory Coast"
Very interesting little Baoulé maternity representing a settler. Note the shorts and the bow tie that holds the hair. The settlers had an image of power for the natives and were therefore sometimes integrated into traditional statuary to give it more power. Wear, beautiful brown patina of use, 32 cm old base. Serge Sheer Belgian Collection.
