The Baule people of the Ivory Coast are renowned for their refined
sculptural work of masks and figures. This book is the first to
focus exclusively on an antithetic aspect of Baule culture-rough
zoomorphic sculptures representing monkeys. These awe-inspiring
bowl-bearing figures evoke invisible powers and serve their
communities through the mediation of diviners. Investigating the
creation, forms, and usage of the sculptures, the authors shed
light on the cultural and ritual contexts in which they operated.
Beautifully illustrated with over 55 full-page color images of
works in public and private collections, this important publication
also includes many unpublished field photographs. Distributed for
Mercatorfonds
