- Lot Description
West Africa, Ivory Coast, Senufo peoples, ca. first half of the 20th century CE. A pair of beautifully carved wooden pulleys in the form of distinct, long-beaked, crested bird heads. One of the pulleys is accessorized with a spindle and wheel at its base while the other has a rope attached at its neck. The largest of the two pulleys has a broad, rounded forehead, a rectangular neck, and rounded shoulders that lead down to squared delineated legs. The smaller is similar in shape but with an elliptical head and a zig-zag pattern incised across its midsection. Heddle pulleys were used by the Senufo on narrow band looms to ease the movements of heddles - part of the looping mechanism of a loom. Although functional, these objects were often carved to showcase the ability and skill of the weaver and were displayed honorably at the entrance of their workshops. Size of largest: 2.5" L x 1" W x 6.25" H (6.4 cm x 2.5 cm x 15.9 cm); 7" H (17.8 cm) on included custom stand.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Scott McCue collection, Los Angeles, California, USA
