{"product_id":"blolo-bla-m-bahiakro-baule-ritual-carving","title":"Blolo Bla, M’bahiakro, Baule ritual carving","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Baule cosmology, the blolo bla is more than sculpture — it is a bridge to the invisible. This female figure, carved in dark wood and seated in composed dignity on a small stool, embodies the idealized “spirit wife” that exists in the otherworldly realm of blolo, a parallel universe believed to preexist and accompany each person. Kept in the privacy of a bedroom, this figure would have received offerings, care, and adornment, mediating between the living and the spiritual to restore personal balance, fertility, or fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blolo Bla, M’bahiakro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist \/ Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown Baule Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early to Mid-20th Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-carved\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium \/ Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood with natural patina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acceptable — surface cracks and insect wear at base; ritual patina\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51867398209874,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/NewTemplate_1_5165be76-2842-4669-84a2-3a0eb9ccad41.jpg?v=1768121528","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/en-fr\/products\/blolo-bla-m-bahiakro-baule-ritual-carving","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
