Baoulé Colon figure in a boat,
£50Baoulé Colon figure in a boat,
African colon figures originated among the Ivory Coast’s Baoulé tribe as an often satirical artistic response to colonisation and European influence. The hand-carved wooden statues commonly depict a Europeanised African middle class, or stereotypical attributes of European design - official uniforms, suits, tobacco pipes, distinct hairstyles and hats. The Baoulé waged one of the longest wars of resistance against French colonisation, and the colon style would achieve international popularity following the second World War. The figure depicts a settler travelling sturdily by canoe boat, the two pieces are not attached. Crossed-sword decorative marking motif may have symbolised a readiness to fight evil.£50 -
Baoulé Colon figure,
£50Baoulé Colon figure,
African colonial figures originated among the Ivory Coast’s Baoulé tribe as an often satirical artistic response to its colonisation and the European influence. The Baoulé waged one of the longest wars of resistance against French colonisation, and the Baoulé colon style would achieve international popularity following the second World War. Their hand-carved wooden statues commonly depict a Europeanised African middle class, or stereotypical attributes of European design such as official uniforms, suits, tobacco pipes, distinct hairstyles and hats. With this figure however, the man stands nude and tall in typical Baoulé posture, half-closed eyes symbolising a peaceful attitude, self-control and patience. The lack of clothing and pigment suggest that this figure did not represent a settler, but a Baoulé person unscathed by or prior to the European influence.£50 -

Baoulé Colon figure,
£50Baoulé Colon figure,
African colon figures originated among the Ivory Coast’s Baoulé tribe as an often satirical artistic response to colonisation and European influence. The hand-carved wooden statues involve at least three craftsmen: the sculptor, the sander, and the painter. They commonly depict a Europeanised African middle class, or stereotypical attributes of European design - official uniforms, suits, tobacco pipes, distinct hairstyles and hats. The Baoulé waged one of the longest wars of resistance against French colonisation, and the colon style would achieve international popularity following the second World War. The male figure stands slumped slightly forward, wearing nothing but a pair of brightly coloured blue shorts and belt. European missionaries would encourage African people to ‘cover up’ in order to instil concepts of puritanism and purdor.£50 -
