A beautiful and unique handcrafted Goli tribe mask that originates from the Akan people from Ghana and the Ivory Coast who are known as The Baule. Common features of the disc shaped facemasks include antelope shaped horns, round eyes, rectangular shaped mouth and geometric designs.

The mask wearer mediates with supernatural forces during the ritual, which have a positive influence on the village people. 19" by 12" w by 2" d
