Description from the seller

Côte d'Ivoire
Baoulé
Wood
Height: 510mm
Width: 105mm
Depth: 100mm

Fine fissure in the abdominal area, see photos.

Baoulé statues called 'waka-sona' (wooden being in Baoulé) from Côte d'Ivoire representing an ancestor or a king.

Many scarifications all over the body, with a hairstyle of great finesse.

Statuary is a form of ancestor worship, or of incarnations of the afterlife.

Parcels are quickly sent from Monday to Saturday with a tracking number.
Chronopost delivery takes 1 to 3 days in France and 2 to 5 days throughout the European Union. Delivery to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world is via Colissimo International.

We speak English.
