Refinedly carved catapult of the BAULE, Ivory Coast, 2nd half 20th century

Catapult of the Baule, made with great care and craftsmanship. What makes this one special is the somewhat mysterious face in which the style characteristics of the Baule are easily recognizable but the face as a whole has a minimalistic design; very beautiful! The rest of the image is very fluid in shapes. Put it neatly on a pedestal. Good condition, see the photos!
