Name |
BAULE DOOR 5 |
|
Background / Origin |
BAULE DOOR 5, Ivory coast (2 wood nymphs) |
|
Description |
Baule doors are decorated or carved with mythological
figures of wood nymphs, leopards, crocodiles, birds,
bowls, and weapons and sometimes diviner’s gongs,
mallets and patterns all for protection. The doors used
to inner rooms are always on view and fortunately do not
show the wear of exposure to the harsh African climate.
Also the craftsmen are not content to produce a
functional object, be it a chair, a bowl or a door, it
always has to show artistic skill, precision and
interest. |
