Weaving looms throughout West Africa
use pulleys to smoothly raise and lower
the heddles.
In the Ivory Coast, especially
among the Dan, Guro, Baule & Senufo,
the decorating of carved wooden pulleys
reached degrees of refinement and
invention rarely excelled.
The beautifully carved
wooden figure served to guard over the
work.
Great signs of use, making this exceptional.
