The top of the mask is crowned with a headdress adorned with imposing braids.
The Baoulé live in the southeast of Ivory Coast. They are part of the Akan group. One can note that their craftsmanship is not frightening. The living conditions of the Baoulé are certainly among the best in the country and this is read in their serene masks and their sophisticated statuary.
