baule tribal mask ivory coast - CATEGORY: ANTIQUE MISCELLANEOUS - DATED EDWARDIAN
 

Baule Tribal Mask, IVory Coast

£180    $244    €212
The Baule are one of the Akan peoples. They moved west to the Ivory Coast more than 200 years ago and adopted masking traditions from their neighbours, the Guro, Senufo and Yaure peoples. There are three basic types used in a special dance of rejoicing called Goli, symbolising the social order. This mask is either a Kpan, (with elaborate coiffures and refined carving; they represent the Senior female in Goli ceremonies) or a Ndoma (an idealized portrait mask used at the close of ceremonies.)
 
This particular mask is elegantly carved and in very good condition. Light age related wear and tear
