<B>Baule (Côte d'Ivoire)</B></I><BR>Standing female figure holding her breasts<BR>Wood, beads<BR>Height: 10 ½ inches Width: 2 7/8 inches Depth:2 7/8 inches<BR><BR>This refined, youthful female, with her hands over the ends of projecting breasts, stands with her head slightly inclined forward, her eyes slightly downcast, as if assuming a deliberately demure posture. Her legs are apart and very slightly bent. The rendering is quite naturalistic apart from the disproportionately enlarged head above a slightly elongated neck. The ears are large, there is a distinct brow line, and a delicate band in very low relief separates the high forehead from the hairstyle comprised of close parallel incised lines. The mouth projects slightly, and beside it are some small, carefully rendered scars.<BR><BR>The use and meaning of this image are not known, although it might well have been a man's spirit mate.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR><BR>Sotheby's Paris, Sale PF3015, lot 94<BR>Gary Hendershott, Little Rock<BR><BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Collectibles (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
