"Baule Monkeys" is the first book dedicated to these sculptures so far from the refined and delicate artistic canon of Baule masks and effigies. These frightening cup-bearers harboring invisible forces, both evil and beneficial, served their community through diviners. Using a remarkable collection of statues from the Africarium Collection, this book examines the creation, morphology, and use of cup bearers in their ritual and cultural context. The product of extensive research of existing texts and observation of hundreds of objects, this book presents fascinating discoveries, an original map, and previously unpublished field photographs, and illustrates fifteen objects from the Africarium and forty cup bearers from public and private collections.
