 The Baule people are an ethnic group from the Ivory Coast in West Africa. They are known for their rich artistic traditions, particularly their wooden sculptures. One of the most famous types of Baule sculptures is the Baule figure.

Baule figures are carved wooden sculptures that represent human beings. They are often characterized by their elongated proportions, serene facial expressions, and intricate detailing. These figures were traditionally created for religious and ceremonial purposes, serving as vessels for ancestral spirits or as objects of worship.

Baule figures are highly valued for their craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal. They are often adorned with decorative elements such as beads, cowrie shells, metal attachments, and textiles. The figures may depict individuals, couples, or even groups, and they can vary in size from a few inches to several feet tall.

Baule figures have gained international recognition for their artistic excellence and have become sought-after collectibles in the global art market. They provide a glimpse into the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the Baule people and are regarded as important cultural artifacts.

In summary, Baule figures are wooden sculptures created by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast. They are renowned for their artistic beauty, intricate detailing, and religious significance. These sculptures provide a window into the cultural heritage and spiritual practices of the Baule community.
