African wall mask with spiritual symbolism, carved by Baule artisans of Côte d’Ivoire and painted in blue with yellow-highlighted horns.
🌍 Cultural Context
This piece is a Baule horned mask, rooted in the tradition of Mblo portrait masks from Côte d’Ivoire. These masks are used to honor female ancestors, celebrate community, and reflect Baule ideals of beauty, peace, and moral clarity. The horns represent spiritual strength and animal protectors, common in both Goli and entertainment dances.
🎨 Visual Details
The long oval face is painted deep blue, with carved yellow-lined eyelids, closed lips, and paired horns. The mask’s edge is cut in a scalloped fringe. The face is calm and symmetrical, evoking reverence. The blue color is rare and suggests modern spiritual abstraction.
