Description
The Baoulé statue "Asie usu" serves as a receptacle for nature spirits wishing to communicate with the human world. Represented by a seated man, a village dignitary, this neatly groomed male figure with a braided beard affirms the opulence of his social status. The frontal scarifications typical of the Baoulé ethnic group are present. The statue has a black patina and is made of dense wood.
