1. Title: "Baule Gold Weighing Tool: A Timeless Symbol of African Metallurgy and Cultural Heritage" This photograph showcases a traditional Baule gold weighing tool, an exquisite artifact hailing from the Baoulé ethnic group in Ivory Coast, West Africa. The Baoulé people are renowned for their exceptional metalworking skills, particularly in goldsmithing. This tool, with its vertical, upright design, is a testament to their mastery of metals and their deep connection to their cultural heritage. The gold dust is carefully weighed using this intricately designed tool, a process that reflects the importance of gold in their society. The tool's anthropomorphic features, such as the human-like face and hands, add an element of anthropomorphism and zoomorphism, making it not only a useful utensil but also a work of art. The tool's rich, vibrant colors and interior details add to its allure, making it a stunning addition to any interior or collection of African art. The gold dust, a symbol of wealth and prosperity, is carefully measured, ensuring its value is accurately determined. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the Baoulé people and their deep-rooted connection to their cultural traditions and the natural resources of their land. This artwork, with its vertical orientation and intricate details, is a beautiful representation of the Bellas Artes, or fine arts, of the Baoulé people. The tool's wrought iron and metal construction showcase the artistic and technical prowess of the Baoulé people, making it a valuable addition to any collection of African art or interior decor. This photograph is part of the Proc C E-D IVOIRE collection and is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of the African continent. It is not to be used for commercial purposes.
