Sporting an elaborate hairstyle and scarifications, the Gu mask embodied the Guro people's ideals of beauty. This particular mask represented the Gu spirit and showcased the intricate hair arrangements that express both social status and wealth. Such hairdos could only be achieved with the help of other women. In its glory days, Gu formed a trio with two male characters, but it is no longer performed. Despite her refined facial features, Gu's performance was chaotic and turbulent.
