AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Baoulé masks are known in African art for the fineness of their features, a mouth protruding forward, and half-closed eyes.
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.
