Catalogue Note
La conception anthropomorphe des cuillers-pilons Kulango redouble ici dans le très rare motif des bras entrelacés, dont les mains s'épanouissent à l'arrière du cuilleron, comme pour le soutenir. La superbe élégance de cette cuiller-sculpture tient à la fois de la dynamique des formes épurées et de la fluidité des motifs qui en soulignent avec douceur le mouvement.
