Gouro style mask - Lot 229
Gouro style mask
Ivory Coast
Wood
Height : 29 cm
This mask is a tripartite composition consisting of two zoomorphic figures and an anthropomorphic face. The curved shape of the muzzle accentuates the effect produced by the jaw projected into space, wide open on the powerful fangs of the crocodile. The zoomorphic character of the mask is reinforced by the presence of horns. The female face is sculpted horizontally underneath. It presents a realistic aesthetic with fine features: coffee bean eyes, finely drawn nose, mouth open on small teeth, numerous frontal scarifications. The symmetrical headdress is made up of three woven shells.
