A portrait of ancestral beauty — this Baule tribal mask from Ivory Coast evokes centuries of spiritual dance, elegance, and social harmony.

This wooden mask is a traditional Baule Mblo mask, created as part of ceremonial performances that honored respected community members. Used in dance festivals, these portrait masks celebrate both ancestral spirits and the virtues of admired individuals — grace, wisdom, and inner calm.

Hand-carved from hardwood and finished with a warm natural patina, the mask features delicate scarification near the mouth and temples, a refined nose, and closed almond-shaped eyes symbolizing peace. The tall crest hairstyle reflects Baule ideals of beauty and identity.

This piece is a powerful representation of Baule artistry — refined, expressive, and deeply spiritual. Whether you’re curating a tribal art collection or creating a soulful interior design, this mask brings authenticity and reverence to any space.
