Female Figure "Lu Me", Dan People - Ivory Coast. - Tribal Art
Female Figure "Lu Me", Dan People - Ivory Coast.
In Dan society, sculptures of women are prestige objects that reflect positively both on their owners' and their subjects' reputations. Among the most costly of Dan expressive forms, they are commissioned by men to honor an especially esteemed wife. The sculptures are conceived of as portraits of the women they depict, although this and other examples suggest an overarching emphasis on established Dan ideals of feminine beauty. In some instances ‘lu me’ sculptures are made public to the village during a ceremony in which the man who commissioned the carving is recognized and gaining social prestige. These figures may also be kept in small houses and only publicly shown on special occasions
Dated to the 1930's
Dimensions approx.39 x 13 x 7 cm
