CONDITIONNumerous fine age cracks, deterioration all over, overall condition excellent. Thank you and please view my other items.Estimated age: 19th Century. Painter Fred Uhlman - Most of the artists I admired, Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art and had been profoundly influenced by it. Shortly afterwards I bought the Baule Fetish and the Baule bobbin which are still two of the finest pieces in my collection. It is easy to see why I bought them and why from that moment I have never stopped collecting. The head of the bobbin or heddle - pulley which is after all only a functional object for the purpose of weaving seemed to me then and today as beautiful as a Greek goddess. The fetish moved me as deeply as the bobbin by its silent tragic dignity and its air of profound meditation. Appreciating African art bring deeper meanings that are beyond words. All items acquired are not only valued for their authenticity but also their superior quality. Perhaps a certain piece is meant to be yours and may you enjoy it as much as I have.
