AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mask, Gouro culture, Côte d'Ivoire. Height 37cm.

Beautiful Gouro mask from Côte d'Ivoire. The face is elegant and gentle. The gaze is deep and mysterious. It seems to look beyond time. It is a work that exudes a lot of sensitivity. The sculpture is fine; it is the work of an experienced artist. It is covered with black paint with added white and orange pigments. Feathers were attached at the top of the mask, with visible holes for inserting them. Part of animal skin also remains. Fabrics hiding the wearer completed this mask. The whole is superb and harmonious. It is a classic and timeless work. The face reminds me of the sculptures of Amedeo Modigliani.
Sold as is, see photos. The photos are part of the description. A beautiful piece of antique and authentic collection. Circa 1950.
