Description from the seller

Potomo Waka, Baoulé Sling (Côte d'Ivoire).

18.5 cm

Beautiful patina of use.

In West Africa the sling is an exercise that allows apprentice sculptors to train with simple objects.
These slings are then used for hunting birds.
From a utilitarian object, it becomes a work of art and an expression of a culture.
