Description
Stunning Kulango sculpture with ornate details and carvings. Pigmented wood for contrast. Unique and rare Kulongo figure, perfect for a growing African art collection.
The Kulango today live in an area of transitions between the central African cultures of Mali and the Akan cultures of Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire. They came to this area from the north and as a result of contact primarily with the Asante, gradually through time picked up local cultural traits. Kulango sculpture shares influences from neighbors to the east of them the Senufo and the Baule from the coastal area.
