Commentary
Exceptionnel dessin original au crayon sur calque par Clément Serveau, du recto projet non adopté de 500F pour la BAO. En haut au crayon l'artiste a indiqué ses sources : "homme et femme Bambara", "Antilope Tchi Ouara, fétiche de la culture Bambara" (masque d'antilope Ciwara de l'ethnie Bambara). Format total 21,7cm x 17,7cm, dessin 18cm x 11cm. (Ce projet était très probablement destiné à l'Institut d'Émission de l'AOF et du Togo plutôt qu'à la BAO).
