Ein paar Zahlen - Attie - Elfenbeinküste (Ohne mindestpreis)
The Attié, also called Akyé, are located in the north of the Grand Bassam lagoon. In their traditional art, there are statues with geometric shapes and complex headdresses. Aesthetics and beauty, especially feminine, are of great importance in Attié art.
Here, we observe a couple of statues answering the aesthetic canons of the sculptors of the region. The small arms are placed along the body and hands resting on the belly around a prominent navel. The light wood of the kaolin-covered body strongly contrasts with the multi-lobed headdress. The neck is very long and ringed. The sides are scarred. The cheekbones are prominent and bear slight incised crosses.
