From Côte d'Ivoire. Gbaule are divination objects used primarily by the Wee (Kru-speaking people of the Guinea coast) to determine the causes of illness and to identify evil forces. A diviner holds the gbaule while in a trance. He is asked questions, and the movement of the gbaule indicates a response. This example comes from the Dan (Yacouba), an ethnic group classified as peripheral Mandé, sharing the cultural patterns but not the language of the Krou (Kru). Dan live in the extreme west of Côte d'Ivoire and into Liberia.
