WEAVING PULLEY SHAFT featuring a CALAO
Sénoufo culture, Ivory Coast
First half of the 20th century
Copper alloy
H.: 17 ; L.: 7 cm

This copper-alloy stirrup, cast using the lost-wax technique, features a stylized hornbill at the top: a large beak joins its neck and is topped by a scroll, its cheeks are two incised semicircles, and its openwork eyes are surrounded by concentric circles. The stirrup forms the animal's body and features applied disc and spiral decoration.

Stirrups were used to hang loom healds.

The hornbill is an important avian figure appreciated for its intelligence, mastery and creativity - qualities also required of the weaver.
