Striking African mask with bird crest and symbolic tribal features
This African mask from the Guro tribe features a vibrant red face, arched brows, white almond eyes, and a sculpted bird crest — a symbolic fusion of beauty and spirit.

Cultural Context
This African mask represents the ceremonial artistry of the Guro people in Côte d’Ivoire. Guro African masks are used in masquerades to honor deities, embody ancestors, and communicate tribal values. Their designs often merge human and animal traits in visually powerful compositions.

Visual Details
This African mask displays a rich red face with textured finish, almond-shaped white eyes, and carved arched brows. The cheeks are framed with geometric triangle carvings, and the mouth is detailed with a furrowed expression. The crest rises into a curved bird with green and yellow wings — a classic Guro icon representing transformation and spirit.
