Heddle Pulley - Senufo People - Ivory Coast
Price: $295.00
Weaving looms throughout West
Africa use pulleys to smoothly
raise and lower the heddles. In
the Ivory Coast, especially
among the Guro, Baule & Senufo,
the decorating of carved wooden
pulleys has reached degrees of
refinement and invention rarely
excelled. The carved wooden
figures serve to guard over the
work.
