Catalogue Note
Les grands tambours d'appel revêtent chez les Baulé un rôle majeur : "Chez les Baulé, le roi lui-même, dans une cérémonie publique, avant de s'asseoir sur son trône, va le saluer. En période de conflit armé, le grand tambour est aussi protégé que la personne du roi" (Niangoran-Bouah in AFAA, 1989, p. 191). La caisse cylindrique est ici ornée de de deux frises de visages - esprits tutélaires, génies de la brousse ou masques miniatures - émergeant en haut relief et ponctuant le décor à motifs géométriques rehaussé de pigments ocre rouge.
