This red-toned Baule fertility figure exudes symbolic beauty and ritual energy — carved with ancestral meaning and feminine grace.

Cultural/Design Context:
Among the Baule and related Ivorian groups, fertility figures are carved for spiritual and decorative purposes. Often owned by women, these dolls are carried or kept in shrines to promote conception, honor maternal strength, or offer protection. Their bodies feature stylized breasts, scarification, and tall, crested hairstyles to signify status and ideal form.

Visual Details:
This slender wood figure features a red-painted torso with engraved detailing at the navel, shoulders, and chest. The head is crowned with a tall, flared coiffure carved with fine horizontal bands. White eyes and a composed facial expression reflect traditional Baule styling. The piece stands on a black circular base.
