ANTHROPOZOOMORPHIC FIGURE FABRIC LOOM PULLEY CALIPER
Djimini Culture, Ivory Coast
First half of the 20th century
Wood
H.: 14; L.: 7.5; Thickness: 5 cm
Wooden pulley stirrup, carved with an anthropozoomorphic figure on the upper part which is reminiscent of the Do masks. Indeed, a face with anthropomorphic features has a pair of arched horns.
This pulley stirrup made it possible to hang the lists of the loom.
