About this piece
Green shirt, red legs, and a firm grip on his own hands.
This blolo was carved in wood by Baule artists of the Ivory Coast, West Africa, in the 20th century. Spirit spouse figures are commonly kept in private and treated with respect, so that a partner in the other world remains content. Here the figure wears a bright green shirt and stands with its hands clasped in front, below a red face with glassy inset eyes. The red legs end on a rough block of wood.
About fourteen inches tall. Bright enough to cheer up a hallway.
