Guro pulley - 小雕像 - guro - 象牙海岸

在科特迪瓦，棉纤维的织造传统上由男性完成。
Among the Agni and the Abron, heirs of the former Ashanti Kingdom, but also among the Baule and the Guro, the woven wraparound skirt (kenté) is a royal court art.
雕刻的织布机和滑轮也是精湛的艺术。
The latter serve to support the bobbin which allows the thread binding both heddles to circulate. This way, the weaver can alternately lift each half of the weft under which the netting needle passes.
这一重要的雕塑，专属拥有者家庭所特有，放在织工面前，检查正在进行的作品质量。
Both a visible presence and an occult manifestation, protective, supporting work of quality, which is meticulously created over time.
这些逐步标准化的物件，使用并非专门为仪式而作，却出自熟练艺人之手，他们在专业村落中工作，吸引了来自远方的买家。
Therefore, this is not a regional art anymore, but forms of objects which have spread among the Mande, the Senufo and the Akan.
因此，这不再是一种区域性艺术，而是已传播于曼德、塞努福和阿干等族群的物件形态。
