Item Details

Description

Title: African Tribal GUERE mask. Liberia.

Date: 2nd half of the 20 century.

Origin/Tribe: GUERE. Liberia.

Material: Wood, iron, fabric, beads, copper nails nuts, fiber and paint, Nice condition for it's age and use.

Dimensions: "Height 33 cm.+ beard 20 cm. Width 18,5 cm. Depth 12 cm."

The ferocious aspect of Guere masks - bulging eyes, open mouths and sometimes protruding horns - accounts for their identification as "war" masks but, according to Bacquart, they are worn primarily during funerals and - in a"detective" capacity - to single out guilty persons.
