Description
¤ BAOULÉ, IVORY COAST
Wooden Kpan mask of the Goli with a beautiful dark patina and wear from ritual use. Beautiful sculpture with a complex shell-shaped headdress above an academic and well-proportioned face. It bears the traditional scarification marks of high-ranking figures. On each side, the cheeks are adorned with a small jagged beard (as on Yaouré masks) and a long beard on the chin. The interior also has a beautiful patina, which testifies to its age.
First half of the 20th century
H. 40 cm
