Editorial study and sources
Editorial study of the collection · November 1, 2026. The original record is kept in the documentary archive.
History sheet entitled ‘Notable’, attributed in the catalogue to the Baulé de Côte d’Ivoire and described in its fields as a figure of wood and pigments. The previous text was illegible and there is no local photograph linked to EMS-133.
The figurative sculpture Baulé includes representations associated with spiritual companions and forest spirits. The museum examples allow documenting that context, but not identifying the function or appearance of this piece without seeing it.
No photo shared by EMS-132 and EMS-134 to complete EMS-133: the proximity of references and measures does not show that they represent the same object. The individual description is pending image and documentation.
