Bold African Guro mask with vibrant red face and twin-pronged crest — perfect for tribal wall art and spiritual collectors.
Cultural/Design Context
This mask originates from the Guro people of Côte d’Ivoire, known for their stylized ceremonial carvings. Guro masks often combine vibrant pigmentation with animal or abstract crests and represent spirits of ancestors or forest forces. They were traditionally used in rituals of celebration, guidance, and protection.
Visual Details
The mask features a pointed oval face painted deep red with almond-shaped eyes, blue-black eyelid lines, and strong nose structure. Scarification marks are incised on the cheeks in a rhythmic vertical pattern. The forehead is crowned by a dramatic double-pronged crest carved in geometric planes with subtle linear etching. Wavy edge carving along the jawline adds further visual motion.
