KPELYE-MASKE - Senufo - Elfenbeinküste (Ohne Mindestpreis)
Ancient KPELYE MASK, this Poro mask of feminine character embodies calm, stability, balance, unity, and also feminine accomplishment. These masks are almost always characterized by a scarification evoking the vulva, in the center of the forehead, the symbolism of which was once particularly secret and evoked a no less secret initiation rite, of a higher grade, consisting of uniting with the earth. -mother, an embrace which sealed the marriage of the initiates with the Poro society. Its more or less dark but always well polished surface recalls the beauty and softness of women's skin. Sénoufo, Ivory Coast. Wood, beautiful patina of use.
Good condition, some chips due tribal use and age.
