AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Stunning Guere mask with great eye for detail from Ivory Coast.
The Guere, neighbors of the Dan, make masks for similar purposes but usually of a form that is more 'scary' than Dan masks. They are used for rituals, education, and social control, and to appear frightening to enemies.
Provenance: Manfred Schäfer, former gallery owner from Ulm, Germany.

A tracking number will be provided. It can also be viewed and picked up at our gallery in Vessem (NL).
