The genius of African sculptors is not limited to masks and majestic statues.
In West Africa, particularly among the Baoulé, the Djimini, the Gouro and many other tribes, loom pulleys are real little gems that fascinate collectors and art lovers.
Despite their modest size, these meticulously crafted pieces, often decorated with human heads (but which can also be zoomorphic or anthropo-zoomorphic) are considered true miniature masterpieces, showcasing the expertise of great sculptors.
