Description :
This is a hand-carved African heddle pulley, identified as originating from the Senufo culture of the Ivory Coast. Heddle pulleys are functional components used on narrow-band looms to ease the movement of the heddles during weaving. They were often embellished with intricate carvings, such as this hybrid human/animal figure, for aesthetic appreciation and to showcase the carver's skill. The piece has a rich, dark patina and is mounted on a custom wooden base for display. The specific example in the image dates from the first half of the 20th century and has an estimated value ranging from $2,500 to $3,500.
Dimensions : 12 in H
