We find here the characteristic style Baoulé:

standing person on a circular pedestal, a little folded knees and a position of hands stuck on the stomach, the sign of serenity and peace.

The size of the head and the trunk are voluntarily exaggerated.

Very beautiful expression. Hard wood, brown patina. Old piece.
