Description: Ref: sf-2367 Height 40 CMProduct Description Altar statue of the Attié ancestors. Origin Ivory Coast. Original piece over 50 years old. The Attié people (Atyé, Akyé, Akié) are a people of Côte d'Ivoire who live in the south of the country, north of the city of Abidjan, particularly from the commune of Anyama, in the Lagoons Region between Adzopé and Alepé. The Attié speak a Kwa language of the same name, Attié. Their art remains unknown and relatively little studied. They nevertheless developed a very accomplished plastic art. This highly accomplished art allows them to create forms which serve as supports for reconciliation with the gods. It is a 100% religious sculpture. Ancestor statues are among the most revered and common, they will protect the family while maintaining cohesion. It should be noted that among the Attié, as among their Baoulé neighbors, the theme of judgment is very present in the statuary. We find this recurrence in their works representing either a woman or a man, very often linked to royalty.African art, African maskafrican art african tribal art arte africana afrikanische kunstPart delivered with an invoice and a certificate of authenticity.Altar statue of the Attié ancestors.
