Description

Handcarved monoxylous mask of the Baule community of Cote d'Ivoire. 100% handcrafted, a traditional mask of the Baule ethnic group that resisted the invasion of French colonials longer than any other West African people. The mask with twin seated figures on the headgear represents a powerful positive spiritual presence in its environment and was a significant mask during the fabled Goli festival. The solid attractive mask is carved out of Marina, known for durability and excellent wood grain and finish.
