Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. Four Vintage African Heddle Pulleys



Descripción : Four Vintage African Heddle Pulleys Baule people and their neighbours to the West, the Guro, are famous as weavers, and are known for their fine indigo-and-white cotton fabrics. Used on the traditional narrow-band loom, heddle pulleys are functional objects used to ease the movements of the heddles while separating the warp threads and allowing the shuttle to seamlessly pass through the layers of thread. Like many other carved objects used in everyday activities among the Baule, these pulleys were often embellished for the weaver's delight. Scholars have suggested that the prominent display of pulleys, hanging over the weaver's loom in the public place, afforded artists their best opportunity to showcase their carving skills, in the hope to attract commissions for figures and masks. These figurative pulleys with carved heads demonstrate the efforts put by Baule and Guro artists into beautifying the simplest functional object.
