Attye figure sculpture

Attye female figures are emblematic of the culture of the peoples living along the lagoon. They are distinguished by their captivating beauty and are used ritually to promote fertility. What makes Attye figures unique are the scarification marks on the neck and abdomen, which are often created by inserting small wooden plugs instead of being carved in relief. This natural wood figurine measures 26x25x80 cm and embodies the richness of the Attye cultural tradition. Its beauty and symbolism make it a precious artifact. This mid-20th century work of art originated in Côte d'Ivoire.
