Tall Baule top Figure From Ivory Coast

This is a vintage Baule Colonial Figure from Ivory Coast.
It is skilfully carved and quite striking. It is definitely a female figure. But who is she? Is she a priest? Or a nun?

A few areas of damage. The tall body is in good condition with just a few scratches and paint missing. Sadly her cap has lost some of its edges.
But nevertheless the top looks fabulous!

53cm tall
10 cm widest.
