Baule Tribe Doors
The Baule people of the Ivory Coast are renowned for their artistic skills, which are often showcased in various forms, including their intricately carved wooden doors. These doors are typically adorned with elaborate carvings that incorporate symbolic motifs and designs that hold cultural significance for the Baule people. Common motifs found on Baule doors include geometric patterns, animal figures, human figures and abstract symbols.
About the Tribe
Baule or Baoule people are found in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) between the Comoé and Bandama rivers. The Baule belong to the Akan peoples and one of the largest groups in Côte d'Ivoire who historically migrated from Ghana. They played a central role in twentieth-century history of the country. They waged the longest war of resistance to French colonization of any West African people, and maintained their traditional objects and beliefs longer than many groups in such constant contact with European administrators, traders, and missionaries.
