Catalogue Note
Aux signes de beauté mis en valeur par les sculpteurs Guro - tension des courbes, ample front bombé délimité par le dessin dentelé de la coiffure - s'ajoutent ici la force et l'élan des formes stylisées, et certains détails tels le doublement des paupières et la nervure ceignant la face, qui permettent d'attribuer cette poulie au style - rare - développé à la frontière des pays Guro et Bété. Patine nuancée, grumeleuse dans les creux.
