"Pilon Maillet Baoulé"
Very rare traditional diviner mallet pestle. Origin Baoulé, Ivory Coast, probably late 19th century. Very beautiful patina, finely carved. At the top the upper part broke over time, probably a hook which was used to suspend it, a second hole was made later but also old. At the base an old visible crack, well gulled.
