No. 92810181
A slender Baule sculpture, Ivory Coast.
“To articulate historians, the most consistent features of Baule art is a kind of peaceful containment. Faces tend to have downcast eyes and figures most often hold their ams against the body. […] Among their abundant art forms, the Baule people continue to place the greatest value on masks and figure sculptures, which remain the only sculptural art still widely used in Baule villages. While there is a difference between the Baule view of their objects and that of Western connoisseurs, there are points of agreement. Aesthetic appreciation is one: Baule artist, and individual owners of objects, certainly sometimes enjoy the beauty of these objects and the skill it took coproduce them. […]
Ornaments above the face are chosen for their beauty and have no iconographic significance” p.141

View translationEn envoi rapide, emballage, parfait.
View translationlivraison 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!

View translationals 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
Alles absolut ok - inkl. Verpackung und Versand… Gerne wieder….
