Vom Verkäufer bereitgestellte Beschreibung
Guro Fetish Monkey Mask
Oumé region, Côte d’Ivoire
Wood, metal bells, glass beads, organic accretions, incl stand.
This massive, helmet-like mask depicts a highly stylized monkey face possessing expressive immediacy. Deeply recessed eye sockets, a projecting snout, and an open mouth articulated by crossbars define its physiognomy. The dark, patinated wood surface is covered at its center by a dense, crusty accretion embedded with numerous red beads. Metal bells attached to the sides add an acoustic dimension to the object: during the dance, the figure was not merely visible but also audible. Signs of wear, encrustations, and traces of repairs or attachments lend the mask the character of a ritual object used over a long period.
Attribution points to the Oumé region in west-central Côte d’Ivoire, within the cultural sphere of the Guro people. Monkey and baboon-like mask figures are documented within Guro mask traditions; an example of a baboon mask known as 'Dje', for instance, is held by the Brooklyn Museum. Guro mask culture encompasses various mask societies - some with sacred associations - and integrates performative, social, and spiritual functions.
In this particular work, the applied material and the bells, in particular, underscore a sense of activated presence: the animalistic figure appears less as a naturalistic depiction than as a concentrated embodiment of a volatile force - one transferred from the realm of the bush into the community.
