A Gela War Mask
Item Details
Description
A Carved wooden mask adorned with animal horns, textiles and a brilliant "laundry" blue pigment. Among the We and Guere peoples, It is believed the gela mask can gather up the ill will and negative feelings plaguing a community and deposit them back into the forest, where the untamed forces of nature prevail. Such masks are also brought out in times of clan warfare to inspire the troops. The mask measures 14.5 x 7 inches. A metal display stand can also be included for an additional $50.00.
