Baule, Ivory Coast: a typical heddle pulley with ancestor head.
A heddle pulley, in which a reel runs over an axle below. With a thread over this reel, the weaver can separate the warp threads of his woven piece into ‘fans’, using a foot pedal. Then the weft threads are ‘shot through’ these ‘fans’. Thus, fabric is created. In order to provide the weaver with ‘something beautiful’ to look at while working, the heddle pulleys are particularly finely crafted.
A finely Baule Pulley with fine detailed coiffure and great patina of use. Good condition with slight traces of wear and tear. The pulley stands unstable on it`s own.
