Singes Baule. Océanie At the Chek Said TigzirinThe first book devoted exclusively to this type of sculpture. These impressive figures, usually carrying a cup, embodied invisible forces, both malevolent and benevolent, which Baule communities called upon through diviners. Through a group of remarkable figures from the Africarium Collection, the book examines the creation, use, and form of these cup bearers, while illuminating their cultural and ritual context.
