AFRICAN QUINTESSENCE

A gallery of the art of Africans

Maternity Figure, Attie, Ivory Coast

The Attie are one of the Akan speaking peoples who occupy

the region just south of the Baule. Although much less is

known of Attie culture and art, their sculptures are very similar

and related to Baule style. In this case, the sculpture retains

the beauty, grace and dignity of the "Madonna and child"

concept as a universal icon. Circa late 19th / early 20th century.

27 inches tall.
