Product description
This maternity statue comes from the region inhabited by the Baoulé, an ethnic group from central Ivory Coast. The Baoulé are renowned for their sophisticated sculptures and their rich artisanal tradition. Baoulé maternity wards, like this one, are symbolic objects which testify to the importance of fertility and motherhood in Baoulé culture. The sculpture is made of wood, finely worked and polished, the wood is chosen for its durability and its ability to be finely detailed. The dark, smooth patina indicates ritual use and long handling, adding to the symbolic depth of the piece. The statue depicts a woman sitting on a stool, holding a child on her lap. The woman's face is elongated, with finely sculpted features: almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and full lips. The hair is carefully styled in complex geometric patterns, emphasizing the importance of hairstyles in Baoulé culture. The child, also detailed, is held with care, symbolizing maternal protection and the continuity of life. He greedily suckles his mother's breast. The proportions of the statue, with a robust body and well-defined limbs, convey an impression of strength and stability. Motherhood, in Baoulé art, is a recurring theme which reinforces the values of family and continuity. This statue, in particular, illustrates not only the aesthetic beauty and artisanal excellence of the Baoulé people, but also their deep respect for the crucial role of women in society.
