This is a beautiful and intricate Yaoure mask from the Baule people of Ivory coast. This style of mask is known for its elegant, refined features and is used in a variety of ceremonial dances to honor ancestors, or to bring good fortune to the community.
The mask is characterized by its elongated, oval face, arched eyebrows, and a complex hairstyle, often including an animal or human figure on top. The red face on this particular mask is contrasted with the dark, incised carving of the coiffure, and the smaller face below the main face adds a unique and fascinating element to the piece.
This mask is an excellent example of the highly detailed and sophisticated carving style of the Baule-Yaoure people. It's an ideal piece for collectors of traditional African art and ethnography, offering a unique blend of aesthetic beauty and cultural history.
