Baule tribal wall decor mask with yellow face blue brow ridged crest and scarified cheeks for african spiritual home interior design G5500

This compact Baule tribal wall mask features a bold yellow face with blue brow details and fine scarification — a vibrant African decor accent.

Cultural/Design Context
Crafted in the Baule tradition of Côte d’Ivoire, this type of mask is known for its balance, symmetry, and spiritual representation. Baule masks often depict revered ancestors or spirit figures, used historically in ceremonies celebrating peace, beauty, and order. The stylized features, controlled symmetry, and coloration reflect both aesthetic ideals and spiritual resonance.

Visual Details
This slender wooden mask is painted in a warm ochre yellow tone, highlighted by blue pigment over the brows and hairline. Its narrow nose features a deep central ridge, flanked by almond-shaped closed eyes and delicately carved cheek lines. A small dark-painted beard detail sits below the lips, while a ridged crest rises from the top of the head, echoing traditional Baule hair styling.

How to Use/Display
Perfect for wall mounting in artful nooks, entryways, or gallery-style arrangements. It stands out in rustic, bohemian, or African-inspired interiors as a symbol of ancestral tradition and artistry.
