Description
Carved wooden mask with serene oval face and incised and raised designs. Yaure or possibly Baule peoples, West Africa. This mask exhibits fine facial features, with its polished surfaces and flowing lines as well as two animal horns, carved with the finest craftsmanship which imply a link between between man and beast. This combination of an anthropomorphic face with animal motifs, which seems to present us with the appearance of nature and humanity reconciled, is intended to evoke the supernatural in order to convey the dual nature of the divinity connected both to the village and to the spirit world. The mask measures 14 inches tall.
