A Baule mask, Ivory Coast, inc. stand.

"The Baule are originally part of a breakaway group of the Akan people from Ghana. In the 17th century, Queen Abla Pokou led a group on an exodus away from the main Ashanti Confederacy after a war broke out due to disagreements among the factions. Pokou realized that she and her followers may be in harms way, so she took her people and headed westward. Legend says the group came upon the Comoé River, with its dangerous waters and needed a way to safely cross. With the enemy gaining on them, Queen Pokou asked a diviner for advice. The diviner, after much thought, told her the gods required a sacrifice. Everyone began throwing their most prized possessions into the river; gold, ivory, cattle, everything they owned, hoping to appease the gods. The diviner shook his head and said that our sons are our most prized possessions. Pokou, knowing that her duty as queen was more important than that of a mother, decided then to sacrifice her only son, throwing him into the water and calling out “Ba ouli”, translated to “the child is dead”, giving them the name Baule. After the sacrifice was made, hippopotamuses came up from the river and formed a bridge allowing the queen and her people to cross."

"Differing from most cultures, the Baule are a matriarchal society. Not only are genetic lineages traced by the mother’s blood line, but they refrain from participating in secret societies and initiations that usually forbid women. They believe women’s rights are sacred and are for the most part, given the same opportunities as men. They do however, have some objects such as special men’s masks or anthropomorphic monkeys that women are forbidden to see due to fear of harm or death."

Very very very slow shipping. I accept it for Christmas dates, but it is frustrating (24 days). Otherwise, very good packaging, correct item as described. Does not include certificate (forgotten?)

livraison très longue 26 jours ! Après réception le Bec de l'oiseau arrive cassé malgré un emballage de qualité exceptionnelle ! Après observations je m'aperçois que la pièce est réparée a la colle !

First of all, thank you for the compliment that the mask was well packaged. We go to great lengths to pack our works of art safely. Nevertheless, damage can occur in transit if the courier handles the parcels improperly. In December and even up to the 6th of January there was a lot of chaos at DHL and many parcels arrived days and even weeks late. Some items were at some point repaired by their previous owners in Africa. Sometimes so well that even we cannot recognize the repair and therefore cannot describe it. Please accept our apologies that we did not discover the repair and that the glued-on beak has broken off. If you no longer wish to have the object for this reason, you are welcome to return it to us. Catawiki will then refund the purchase price and postage. Kind regards, Patricia Winheim

Bien reçu le colis ,trés bien préparé et protégeant abondamment la sculpture, mais long délai de livraison. La sculpture est authentique et de bon style du milieu 20e . C'est une chance!

Wie immer gute Qualität zum fairen Preis. Hervorragend verpackt! Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: 5 Wochen Lieferzeit. Viel Zeit zur Vorfreude :-)

als ik volgens de regels meteen betaal verwacht ik ook van de professionele verkoper dat hij zich ook aan de afspraken houdt en niet pas verzendt nadat hij daar toe door Catawiki wordt gesommeerd.

If you check your DHL tracking number, you can see that your package was on the road for 10 days. This is DHL's responsibility. We regret this, but unfortunately we have no control over it. And between the 24th and the 26th of December and on the 1st of January were official holidays. Kind regards, Patricia Winheim
