Jimini, Ivory Coast: A very beautiful and old heddle pulley with buffalo head.
A heddle pulley of a weaver of the Jimini, with the ‘classical’ Jimini motif of a buffalo head with human face. Carved in hard, brown wood and dyed black. On both ‘shoulders’, left and right, each two decorative bands of small chip-carving triangles. With first-rate, partially shiny, partially encrusted usage patina, also rubbed away where the weaving reel rubs on the inside (the reel is missing). A small crack on the back, with old original repair (metal clamp). Otherwise no damage. H: 16 cm, W: 7 cm (horns). First third of the 20th century. (ME)
Provenance: Hungarian Private Collection.
