AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Baoulé masks are known in African art for the finesse of their features, a mouth carried forward, eyes half-closed.
The summit of the mask is surmounted by a headdress adorned with imposing braids.
The Baoulé live in the southeast of Côte d'Ivoire. They are part of the Akan group. It is noticeable that their craftsmanship is not frightening. The living conditions of the Baoulé are certainly among the best in the country, and this is reflected in their serene masks and their sophisticated statuary. Contemporary Mask.
