Description from the seller
Côte d'Ivoire
Baoulé
Wood
Height: 220mm
Width: 220mm
Length: 475mm
African Baoulé stool from Côte d'Ivoire. Very beautiful geometric shapes. Very interesting stool in the form of a stylized turtle, the handle represents the head of the animal, the feet represent the paws and the seat represents the body of the turtle.
The Baoulé are one of the most important ethnic groups in Côte d'Ivoire. Their name translates their origin: according to a legend, Queen Aba Pokou led her people in exile to the gold-mining regions during the 18th century; she had to sacrifice her son to the river god in order to cross it. The people were thereafter called the "Bauli", meaning: "the son is dead".
Baoulé artists have produced many works of art and are still very active today. Thanks to their sense of stylization and their attention to detail, they have created creations that are among the most elegant African objects. The Baoulé created masks, statues, figurines, fetishes, combs, chairs, loom weights, canes, spear-throwers, slings, ointment boxes, oracle boxes, divination boxes, carved doors, bead necklaces, as well as gold and bronze jewelry worn during the main ceremonies.
