Baule Door - Ivory Coast
This is the door to an inner room. On either side of the female figure, a trance diviner's gong and mallet have been carved, joined by a cord. The figure possibly represents a bush spirit and the two dishes may be there to feed her. Below the feet of this powerful personage is a leopard, and two sheathed knives, symbols of might and royalty.
51" high (including pivot pegs) x 23" wide
$1600
