Buscando esta guía.
An artistic melting pot, the Bondoukou region in northeastern Côte d’Ivoire near the border with Ghana is inhabited by several ethnic groups whose cultures and artistic styles often intermingle. This figure’s rounded shapes and delicate surface decoration––which seem to imitate body scarifications––closely resemble the style of Baule carvings. The figure’s meaning and function remain a mystery. Artworks from different regions traveled across Africa; while found in Wenchi, Ghana, this figure was made in nearby Côte d'Ivoire.
