Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Sitting Male Figure



Beschreibung : wood, rich slightly sticky patina, plant fibre, base Particularly beautiful figure with balanced harmonious body shapes and eye-catching asymmetrical hairstyle. The face bears scarification marks on cheeks and forehead and a beard made of plant fibre. A hole cut between the figure and the seat permits a real loincloth to be put on it. The sculpture is described as asye usu's stool, because the spirit uses it as a resting point. Such works represent idealized male or female figures in their prime, which the asye usu consider desirable forms to inhabit. Artists commissioned with the creation of sculptures used in divination had to follow closely the instructions of the diviners komien who might have been told certain details about the figure's required physical appearance, posture, scarification marks, jewelry and hairstyle by the asye usu bush spirit itself, often during a dream. The level of artistry directly affected their owner's ability to prophesize by seducing nature spirits and inducing them to divulge insights into the human condition. S. Vogel noted: The largest, oldest and most elaborate Baule figure sculptures are made as the loci for gods and spirits that possess their human partners and send messages through them in trance state.
