African tribal passport mask Cote d'Ivorie, Baule, collectible art home decor 21
The Dan tribe of Ivory Coast called the miniature masks passport masks because of their size and variety of uses. They are masks of initiated adult men that would be carried with them or kept on personal shrines in their home. They mark the passage as an initiate into the man's secret society and his attaining a higher rank. At the suggestion of diviners small masks would be given to children to wear to ward off evil or cure illness. Men carried small“passport” masks in leather pouches when they traveled as a form of identification. This mask is thought to be around 5 years old and measures 4.5" X 2.5"

carved slate ? DAN BAULE MASK Portrait Ivory Coast Africa Beeswax? clay? on back
I recognized this as a Baule face but never saw one in slate- I think it's slate. The stone is in layers. It might also be some kind of very hard dark gray clay( see close- ups of back) or else has clay added to the slate on the back? It has what looks like a think application of beeswax or( opaque dark golden wax) affixed to the back which is holding a hanging device made of thick aluminum? or some other metal. It's the color of aluminum. Some pieces on the side have broken off- please see photos. It's a very nicely done face. Almost delicate. It measures approx 3 7/8" wide x 6 1/4" long. Shipping to the USA only. Thank you!

BACKGROUND The Baule represent one of the most important tribes of the West Coast. Their name is testimony to their birth– according to legend. Queen Aba Pokou led her people on an exodus towards the gold mining areas during the 18th Century and had to cross a river where she was obliged to sacrifice her son to the river god, thus giving her people the name Bauli, the son is dead” During the 19th Century, the queendom disintegrated due to internal conflicts and by the beginning of the 20th century, when the French colonials arrived, they found only a network of villages, headed by councils of venerated men. The Baule people use three types of masks: The first is a helmet mask in the shape of a buffalo head, Bonu Amwin; the second represents a human face with rounded, fairly realistic features; and the third type includes masks related to the Goli festival. Three type of masks are used during these festivals: the first is of discoid shape and represents a highly stylized face beneath a pair of horns; the second is a helmet mask representing a buffalo head beneath antelope horns; and the third is used for closing the festivities, and has an elongate

FINE OLD BAULE MALE FIGURE 1950’s WEATHERED PATINA OLD BEAD NECKLACE
0 false 18 pt 18 pt 0 0 false false false Description: This finely carved male Baule figure from the Ivory Coast dates to about the 1950’s or a bit earlier. The carving has a sensitively carved face. Well-articulated fingers and toes as well as an exceptionally detailed hair style. The figure's male genitals are partially covered by a loin cloth. An old beaded necklace with a gold-like nugget hangs around its neck. As with many tribal pieces from European collections of this era(2 nd quarter to mid-20 th century) this statue has been covered with varnish– a now almost outdated practice which was probably originally instituted for wood preservation purposes. I believe this piece was originally from an old English collection– which would explain the varnish. If anything. This overall covering has worked to effectively showcase the piece’s ... moreweathered surface by outlining its worn-down wood grain. Please note that this statue is mounted on a substantial block of beautifully-grained burled wood which is included in the auction.

The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Three hundred years ago the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The tale of how they broke away from the Asante has been preserved in their oral traditions. During the Asante rise to power the Baule queen. Aura Poku, was in direct competition with the current Asante king. When the Asante prevailed, the ... morequeen led her people away to the land they now occupy. The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the palace she established and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king. The Baule create art in several media. Including wooden sculpture, gold and brass casting similar to their Asante ancestors, and mask and figure carving, which have been greatly influenced by their Senufo and Guro neighbors.

Superb Large Baule Monkey from the Mbra Cult Anthromorphic Sculpture Africa
This is a superb Baule Mbra monkey. It has a cup in its hand. So it is called Gbekra and drinks potions that stimulate its divinity nature. This one is actually putting it its tongue into the cup. Pre-cup days, the monkey held an egg-this one reflects that history in that its internal organs are carved as if it is full of eggs. Highly unusual. Mbra monkey sculptures being used are forbidden to be seen and are never publicly displayed due to their divining power. The detail on the carving is highly articulated as the teeth are very sharp; has defined finger and toenails; the nostrils are open and flaring; the spine is highly detailed; the penis is very defined. In general. This is one of the most interesting and one of the largest pieces I have have seen. The work of a master carver-beautiful and haunting design bring this to life as a magic ... moresculpture. It does have some damage, so I have taken that into consideration on pricing. I purchased it a number of years ago with the same damage for considerably more than I am asking. I have been collecting for 65 years, so some of the things I acquired are now very old, esp. if they were old when I got them. If you have questions or need more photos please email me.

Baule Monkey Figure with Chameleon African 23 Inch SALE Was $980
Title, Baule Monkey Mbra figure. SUPERB, Type of Object, Carving, Country of Origin, Cote D'Ivoire, People, Baule, Materials, wood. Cotton cloth, iron, vegetal fiber,encrusted patina, Approximate Age, Mid 20th Century, Dimensions, Height is 23" Overall Condition, Fair, Damage/Repair, Encrustation worn away in small places. Broken base, stain, minor chips in places, Additional Information: Wonderful and stunning example of the famous monkey figures with open hands holding a lizard on his head attributed to the Baule. This monkey figure shows evidence of age and signs of much use and care of handling. The sculpture is a powerful carving that can be counted among the masterpieces of the Baule art. Monkey known as Mbra and sometimes referred to as Gbekre are considered as power figure used in many rituals especially during a trance divination ... morewhere the spirit of Mbra assists the diviner in his effort to transmit the spirits of other world message to the living in order to solve a problem during a consultation. This is the one rare occasion where an Mbra can be seen to everybody. When not in use Mbra is displayed on a shrine. Monkey figures are considered too powerful for women to see. And are kept hidden in the bush where they are fed with sacrificial offerings. The encrusted patina on this figure is from sacrificial offerings and ritual libations poured over the figure. The bowl was used as a container for magic elements. Some large, even sinister-looking, full-sized versions are thought to be carved by blacksmiths and used as guardians of special places or even entire villages. They usually have bared teeth and are also heavily encrusted with sacrificial offerings. In some case. The bowl is replaced by a carved egg. Egg is an important component of the divination process among the Baule. Egg is also part of the sacrificial elements dedicated to the spirits of divination. Recommended Reading: see Kerchache et al.

Guro Baule Brass Mask Bird on Top Cote D'Ivoire African
Title, Guro Baule Brass Mask Bird on Top SUPERB CASTING African, Type of Object, Mask. Metalwork, Country of Origin, Cote d'Ivoire, People, Guro or Baule, Materials, Brass, Approximate Age, 20th century, Dimensions, Height: 9.5 inches, Overall Condition, Fair to good, Damage/Repair, holes in forehead and cheeks. Some oxidation on the surface, a few scratches Additional Information: Small casting mask. This lost wax cast of a copper alloy mask(bronze or brass) comes from the Guro or Baule people of the Ivory Coast in west Africa. Though brass masks are not normally used by the greater number of Akan peoples including the Asante or Fante. They are often found attached to various chiefly regalia prominent on sword sheaths or chiefly stools. They are said to represent the heads of defeated enemies and are shown with some evidence of ... morelocal scarification which is rare among the Akan but often shown on terracotta sculptures. The face shows a beard around the lower section of the mask. It is difficult to determine the age of this small mask however the attention to detail and the abstraction of the features show that this was the product of a skilled craftsman. This is probably an example from the 20th century. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. PhD. 41666* All content.

Lot 86, Outstanding Baule Portrait Mask with Elaborate Coiffure, Ivory Coast
Baule art is sophisticated and stylistically diverse. Non-inherited. The sculptor’s profession is the result of a personal choice. The Baule have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess. Wooden sculptures and masks allow a closer contact with the supernatural world. Baule statues are usually standing on a base with legs slightly bent, with their hands resting on their abdomen in a gesture of peace, and their elongated necks supporting a face with typically raised scarification and bulging eyes. The coiffure is always very detailed and is usually divided into plaits. Measures- 13 1/2" X 7" HEAVY SOLID WOOD
