Colonial figures originating in West Africa are wooden sculptures that represent individuals from the colonial era in Ivory Coast. These figures are hand-carved out of one piece of wood by skilled artisans and hold historical significance in the region. The figures often depict prominent colonial figures, such as administrators, civil servants, soldiers, judges or missionaries, who played a role in the history of Ivory Coast during the colonial period.
These colonial figures symbolize a complex history of colonialism, power dynamics, and cultural exchange. They serve as a reminder of the impact of colonialism on the indigenous people of Ivory Coast and the interactions between different cultures during that time. They tell a real, genuine story. One can see the sadness in the eyes, the forced smile, and forced passivity (hands in pockets) as they mirror the appearance of their oppressors, the colonists.
These figures can be found in various sizes and colours and you will never find two that are exactly alike adding to the uniqueness of each figure. Whether displayed on a mantelpiece, shelf, or as a centerpiece, it will undoubtedly become a conversation starter.
