Cote d'Ivoire Bete Wood 50 x 18.5 x 18 cm 1670 gr Bete mask, from the Western part of Cote d'Ivoire, west side of the Sassandra river. To materialize the hostile forces of the forest, the Bete carved this type of mask that provoked the horror, the Glé or Gré, with the biscorned features. In the past, this mask presided over peace-restorer ceremonies after armed conflicts and participated in customary justice sessions. Impressive face for this zoomorphic mask, with articulated jaws.
