This listing features a figural West African bellows made of carved wood and leather in the shape of women. Details include a white and red painted face and two holes carved out at the leg ends. This item is from an extensive collection of cultural items amassed from visits to Asian & African in the 1970s - 1990s.
Note: last photo is a screenshot of the 2019 Williams College magazine cover with a photo showing a very similar bellows along with the title Ethnography and Art. The bellows shown on the cover was a donation to the school from Suzanne Bach, a retired collector and dealer in African art.
Approx 24” high x 13” widest x 6” deep
