Gouro Pulley (N° 27046)

In Côte d'Ivoire, the most ordinary objects had to meet aesthetic criteria. Furniture, ornaments, utensils, fabrics, are the pretext for refined artistic expression on the part of artisans and sculptors. The latter, mainly farmers, carry out this activity in addition. Some of them also produce pieces for neighboring ethnic groups. Creative talent, however, remains linked to the occult power of the craftsman, to the ritual requirements surrounding woodworking.
Head pulley decorated with a human figure. Its black-brown satin patina, abrasions.
