Image description

Baule figures carved as pairs usually represent wild bush spirits called asye usu. These spirits may intervene in the lives of individuals by taking possession of them. Unless it results in madness, the possession can lead to the person becoming a trance diviner. Finely carved, idealized human representations in wood become a temporary "home" for the spirits. Their artistry and beauty add to the status of the diviner.
