Hand-Carved Wood Horned Mask - West African Tribal Art

Hand-carved African wooden mask, likely originating from the Guro or Baule people of the Ivory Coast. This piece features a striking anthropomorphic design with elongated facial features, elegant curved horns, and decorative geometric side flanges. Artistic Details The mask is carved from a single piece of dense hardwood with a rich, dark patina. It showcases traditional West African aesthetics, including: • Elongated Face: Symbolizing wisdom and beauty. • Slit "Coffee Bean" Eyes: A hallmark of Ivorian craftsmanship. • Curved Horns: Representing power and a connection to nature. • Surface Detail: Fine chisel marks are visible on the interior (reverse), proving its hand-crafted nature.
