Depicting a female spouse figure ‘Blolo Bla’. H. 13 cm.
first half of the 20th century. Great age wear and patina.
Ex coll. Maine Durieu, Paris.
The Baule believe a person is married to both an earthly and a spirit spouse. This sculpture honored its owner’s spirit partner to bring peace, luck, and money. Scarifications on her face and body individualized and enhanced her idealized beauty. The figure stood in the owner’s bedroom where, once a week, he slept alone so they could be together in the dream world. It is rare to find these figures in miniature.
