Two African Baule colonial figures, named colons.
Hand carved wooden statues of a policeman and a military figure ,
These carvings from the Baule tribe date back to the time as Ivory Coast was still a French colony .
It is said that the black person made fun of the white person by means of the colon- objects.
These carvings portray a funny and subtile hint at the white men of taking themselves overly serious.
Through the passing of time the statues show shrink cracks and chips .
The policeman cannot stand on its own and needs support .
Whilst one foot of the militair has been put into place with ,what it looks like, a wood paste .
