Anthropomorphic Mask 
Baule culture, Ivory Coast.
First half of the 20th century. 
Wood.  
Height: 26.5 cm;  Width: 15.5 cm; Depth: 9.5 cm. 

Mask in wood with a dark patina, in an oval form.  The face if organised around the symmetrical axis of the nasal bridge, divided into two eyebrows in moon crescents on the top part.  The eyes are in relief and the eyelids are half-closed.  The mouth forming an horizontal 8 is whistling.  There are three scarifications on the corner of the mouth and around the eyes, they seem to form rays.  
It presents a big hairdo composed of a central braid, flanked by fourteen smaller braids. 
The carving is well-visible on the backside.  
It still has its prehension grip.
