The Yaouré form a sub-group of the Akan people present in C?te d'Ivoire and Ghana, neighbors of the Baoulé and the Gouros. Their reciprocal influences manifest themselves in traditional sculpture. The masks of African art Yaouré, or Yauré, of which the Baoulé have similar models, are divided into two groups which are difficult to differentiate, the je , sometimes with the addition of colored pigments, and the lo , generally with a dark patina, which occur during funeral ceremonies or any other rite in order to win favors from the "Yu" spirits.
