Figurine - Wood

Clear Baule features such as: elongated, elegant proportions, finely carved nose, mouth, and eyes, and typical Baule scarifications on the face, abdomen, and back, with bent legs and bulging calves. The head-torso-legs proportions fit perfectly within Baule aesthetics. One hand supports the finely carved beard and the other rests on the belly. All of this gives the figure an inner tension. The patina is deep reddish-brown. The hairstyle is deeply and variably cut.
