African wooden mask from the Baoulé ethnic group of Côte d'Ivoire.

This type of mask representing natural phenomena such as the rainbow, sunset, and moon is generally displayed at the beginning of the Gbagba procession to 'warm up' the audience before the arrival of more significant dance masks.

This mask is representative of Baoulé art, with a balance between shapes and volumes, featuring finely carved details.

Parcels are sent from Monday to Saturday with a tracking number.
Chronopost delivery takes 1 to 3 days in France and 2 to 5 days throughout the European Union. Delivery to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world is via Colissimo International.
