They speak a Kwa language of the same name, Attié. Their art remains little known and relatively unstudied. Nevertheless, they have developed a highly accomplished visual art. This highly accomplished art allows them to create forms that serve as vehicles for reconciliation with the gods. Ancestral statues are among the most revered and common, protecting the family while maintaining cohesion. It is important to know that among the Attié, as among their Baoulé neighbours, the theme of judgement is very present in statuary. This recurrence can be seen in their works representing either a woman or a man, very often linked to royalty. Their traditional art features statues with intricate headdresses and aesthetics and beauty are very important in Attié art.

“The eastern coast of the Ivory Coast comprises an area of lagoons, where the population is divided into twelve different language groups The cultural and stylistic unity of these people justifies grouping the, together for the purposes of this chapter. Before colonization, each village was autonomous and, when threatened, they united to form a ‘confederation’. Unusually, these people are not governed by chiefs, although a man’s social position is determined by his age.”
