Mblo mask - Baule - Côte d'Ivoire

Massive mask originally Baoulé. It illustrates the mastery of the sculptors of the tribe in naturalism and the sublimation of beauty.
Mblo masks are effigies made to order. It is therefore a sculpted object for an individual who can afford the services of an experienced sculptor.
You can find the aesthetic face, the crenellated beard, a headdress in several imposing lobes.
High-end base included.
