Presenting a distinguished piece from our African Collection: an exquisite Red Guro Mask, originating from Guinea circa 1970. This captivating mask is a remarkable example of the Guro people's rich artistic and cultural heritage, nestled between the Baule and Yaure to the west, the Malinke to the north, and the Bete and We to the south. Amidst the lush savannah and dense forest, the Guro's influence flourishes, tracing back to their 16th-century migration from the north. Now numbering approximately 200,000, the Guro people have sustained their vibrant customs and traditions.

The architectural charm of Guro villages is seen in their distinct styles; the northern regions boast rounded houses while the southern areas feature rectangular structures. This diversity reflects not only in their dwellings but also in their ceremonial life, regulated by a council of elders and secret societies, ensuring the preservation of their ancestral legacies.
This Red Guro Mask stands as an emblem of artistic prowess, with its vivid hues capturing the essence of Guro artistry. The mask is more than a visual masterpiece; it is a cultural artifact that resonates with the spiritual and communal aspects of Guro life.
Perfect for collectors and admirers of African tribal art, this mask brings the spirit of the Guro into any space it graces. Display this piece prominently to appreciate not just its beauty, but its role as a cultural bridge to the intriguing world of the Guro people. Acquire a piece of African history that speaks of elegance, tradition, and enduring artistic expression.
