AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Baoulé masks are known in African art for the finesse of their features, a mouth projecting forward, half-closed eyes.
The top of the mask is topped with a headdress
The Baoulé live in the southeast of the Ivory Coast. They are part of the Akan group. It can be noted 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.
