Blolo Bla sculpture

This Blolo Bla sculpture by Baoulé divination is a 15x15x61 cm wooden sculpture that represents a woman. She is sculpted into the shape of an ideal woman, with long hair, almond-shaped eyes and a kind smile. The hair is sculpted with great precision and is often decorated with beads and geometric patterns. Almond-shaped eyes are a symbol of beauty and wisdom. A kind smile represents generosity and compassion. Baoulé divination figures are sacred objects that are used by diviners to communicate with the spirit world. They are supposed to bring protection and prosperity to their owners. It is a work that originated in Côte d'Ivoire in the middle of the 20th century.
