Ridiculously beautiful and interesting Baule (Baoulé) style / Ivory Coast region wood carved maternity figure with two children.

This is an antique or vintage Hand-Carved West African Baule Style Maternity / Fertility Wooden Figure.

It is striking and substantial, hand-carved wooden ancestral maternity figure.

Rendered in the iconic regional style of the Baule (Ivory Coast) culture, this dramatic sculptural piece depicts a central female figure cradling her breasts—a classic symbolic gesture representing sustenance, lineage, and protection.

Flanking her torso are two smaller attendants or child figures meticulously integrated into the carving, suspended safely by her sides.

The statue features classic West African stylistic traits, including stylized facial expressions, a segmented ringed neck, an intricate textured braided coiffure, and a rich, naturally aged dark patina with visible hand-carving marks.

A powerful decorative or collector’s piece for any lover of ethnographic, indigenous artifact art, or rustic interior design.

Excellent rustic, vintage condition.

Beautiful variations in the wood grain and dark finish, giving it an authentic, aged appearance.

Structurally stable and ready to display on a tabletop or pedestal base.
