Elegant African Baule mask with blue facial tones and a semicircular crest — ideal for tribal portrait wall art and spiritual decor.
Cultural/Design Context
This portrait-style mask is carved by the Baule people of Côte d’Ivoire, known for their refined facial features and symbolic use of color. Blue in Baule spiritual tradition may represent harmony, water spirits, or protective forces. Such masks were traditionally worn during dances honoring ancestors or used as decorative symbols of identity and beauty.
Visual Details
The mask displays a serene blue face with closed eyes, yellow highlights across the eyelids and brows, and symmetrical scarification marks on the cheeks. The brow is slightly raised, and the mouth is pursed in calm expression. A ridged, semicircular crest crowns the head, carved in fine lines to resemble a comb or headdress, enhancing the mask’s elegance and height.
How to Use/Display
Perfect for gallery walls, meditation rooms, or as a standalone piece in global or tribal-inspired interiors. Its vibrant colors and smooth finish offer bold contrast and cultural richness. Lightweight and ready to hang.
