Very old BAOULE slingshot from Ivory Coast representing a standing female character with a pretty braided hairstyle. Old traces of polychromy and pretty brown and shiny patina of use attesting to its antiquity. The wear and friction due to the use of the slingshot have partly erased the features of the face. Fineness and delicacy of the sculpture of a divinity or a female spirit intended to protect the hunter and ensure a successful hunt. This piece is sold on a base.
