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, and half-closed eyes.
The top of the mask is topped with a headdress decorated with imposing braids.
The Baoulé live in the southeast of Côte d'Ivoire. 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 sophisticated statuary.
