This Baule Portrait Mask is a superb example of traditional African art. Hand carved from a single piece of wood and measuring 17" h by 6.5" w by 4.5" D, it features a beautiful patina that speaks to its age and use. These masks were traditionally danced during days of rest and to honor special guests in the village. The intricate and skillfully carved face is a testament to the artistry of the Baule people.
