Heddle Pulley with Dancer Figure
Possibly Baule, this pulley looks like a representation of a masked dancer wearing a zoomorphic helmet mask and upper body covering tunic. Nice chip work detail. Field collected in the late 1950s/60s in Côte d’Ivoire by Thomas McNemar, who acquired the now-frowned upon habit of waxing and coloring in his heddle pulleys. Fortunately, the materials he used are largely reversible.
