Description of Significance

This carved female figure from the Dan people of Côte d'Ivoire reflects traditional ideals of beauty and spiritual significance. Made from dark hardwood and adorned with scarification patterns and a fiber coiffure, it likely served a protective or symbolic function in a private setting. While the Dan are best known for their masks, figures like this were used by diviners to connect with ancestral spirits, promote fertility, or bring good fortune.
