Ancestral elegance carved in spirit and wood — a stunning African mask.

This powerful ceremonial mask originates from the Baule people of Côte d’Ivoire and represents the classic Kpelié form. These tribal masks are traditionally worn during ritual dances honoring female ancestors and the passage from youth into adulthood.

Carved from wood, this mask features a long, tapering chin, scarification marks on the cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and a detailed coiffure rising into a central crest. Its symmetrical design includes triangular cheek extensions and textured surface patterns. Each detail reflects the Baule ideal of spiritual and physical beauty.

This mask was used in initiation ceremonies where the wearer would transform into a spirit being, guiding the community through transitions, harvest rituals, or ancestral reverence.

Ideal for wall display, this carved mask is both an art object and a link to the deep spiritual traditions of West African heritage.
