Beautiful double-sided BAOULÉ slingshot from Ivory Coast. On one side a buffalo head with horns representing the bonu amwin conjuration helmet mask used to ward off evil and maintain order in the community, on the other a female face or Baoulé mask. Often these slings have several sides to increase their protective role! Traces of wear and small losses, desiccation crack, pretty shiny honey patina attesting to its antiquity. Finesse and delicacy of this object intended to protect the hunter and ensure a successful hunt. This piece is sold on a base.
