Weaving looms throughout West Africa
use pulleys to smoothly raise and lower
the heddles.
In the Ivory Coast, especially
among the Dan, Guro, Baule & Senufo,
the decorating of carved wooden pulleys
has reached degrees of refinement and
invention rarely excelled.
The carved
wooden figures serve to guard over the
work.
