Red Carved Wood West African Mask w/ Bird Tribal Art Guro Yaure Baule
Wonderful west African carved wooden mask with a red painted face. The mask has an elaborate high coiffure with a bird- probably a hornbill. Which plays a large part in many mythologies of the area- perched on top. Based on its characteristics, I believe that this mask originates with the Guro people, however it could also come from the related Yaure or Baule tribes. The mask has some wear. But is overall in good condition with no significant breaks or visible repairs aside from a crack along the back of the hair. Please examine the pictures provided. African tribal art is notoriously difficult to date, but this piece most likely dates from the 19th or 20th century. The mask measures approximately 16 1/2" tall and 6 1/4" wide.

African Mask Authentic Tribe Made African Masks Set Of 2 Guro Mask Baule Mask
AUTHENTIC 1950's era African masks set of two. These were brought home after the war in 1950's by a gentlemen from upstate NY who was in the Army international affairs and assisted in the surveying of damage done to multiple countries. And bodies of people. He spent a great deal of time in Africa, Europe and Middle East. He was noted to have spent time with both guro and baule tribesmen in the Côte d'Ivoire region So I am very unsure as to which style these are or if it's one of each? But it's one or the other or both by my research. Gifts tended to be a tad less intricate than those used repeatedly in ceremonial dances and almost always included a side gift of good spirit attached. http:www.zyama.com/guro/ http:www.zyama.com/baule/ These masks were created by tribesman and used in ceremonies. Was most likely a gift ... morepresented to the Soldier for his assistance and or presence. So authentic you can still smell the fire smell inside used to burn away the wood for easier carving by the tribesmen.Paint is bubbled and dirty due to the use of vegetable and earth pigments. They are super cool and a great collectors item. They were boxed most of their shelf life inside an army issue backpack when found. Due to the great authenticity and craftsmanship of these beauties there is a reserve. Serious buyers only! Both masks are 14 inches tall and approx 7 inches wide"Masks are the works of skilled craftsmen. Created according to the requirements of tribal rules and customs, usually in the primitive conditions of a remote village. They have been used in actual ceremonies, tribal initiations and rituals, always accompanied by dance and very often with music played on traditional instruments. Each mask is designed to perform a specific function, but- from the art collector's point of view- the visual beauty is equally appreciated. noted by africanvariety.com African masks.

Arts of Africa - Baule Mask - Ram With Horn - 15" Height x 5" Wide - (Collector)
Côte d'Ivoire The Baule people is one of the largest ethnic group in the Côte d'Ivoire. They have played a central role in twentieth-century history of the country. They waged the longest war of resistance to French colonization of any West African people. And maintained their traditional objects and beliefs longer than many groups in such constant contact with European administrators, traders, and missionaries. The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. According to a legend. During the eighteenth century, the queen, Abla Poku, had to lead her people west to the shores of the Comoe, the land of Senufo. In order to cross the river, she sacrificed her own son. This sacrifice was the origin of the name Baule, for baouli means“the child has died. Now about one million Baule occupy a part ... moreof the eastern Côte d'Ivoire between the Komoé and Bandama rivers that is both forest and savanna land. Baule society was characterized by extreme individualism. Great tolerance, a deep aversion toward rigid political structures, and a lack of age classes, initiation, circumcision, priests, secret societies, or associations with hierarchical levels. Each village was independent from the others and made its own decisions under the presiding presence of a council of elders. Everyone participated in discussions, including slaves. It was an egalitarian society. The Baule compact villages are divided into wards, or quarters, and subdivided into family compounds of rectangular dwellings arranged around a courtyard; the compounds are usually aligned on either side of the main village street. The Baule are agriculturists; yams and maize are the staples. Supplemented by fish and game; coffee, cocoa and kola nuts are major cash crops. The importance of the yam is demonstrated in an annual harvest festival in which the first yam is symbolically offered to the ancestors. Whose worship is a prominent aspect of Baule religion. Ancestors are the object of worship but are not d

Full of character and well used. It was collected by us from a remote Baule village south of Bouake Cote D'Ivoire. BAULE RAMS MASKS The ram. And in specific the ram’s horns, have been a potent symbol in world mythology ... morethroughout the ages. Throughout time, spanning across divergent cultures and civilizations, the ram has been a traditional symbol of male fertility. The power and majesty of this beast has been long revered by mankind, and this was especially true of the Baule tribe who identified the ram and their tribal symbol. Masks are commonly used among many African cultures to facilitate the bond between the people and their ancestors and divinities. Masks instill social order. And can bring forth prosperity as well as misfortune. They are used in ceremonies of rites of passage and are usually accompanied by elaborate music and choreography. Among the Baule, who are believed to over a million people, there are two general forms of masks: animal and human. This mask is of a type that would have been worn and danced with during the Goli festival related to the harvest and to funerals of important tribal leaders. The wearer would have been covered in an elaborate costume hiding his body beneath. Thus the illusion proffered by the mask would be completed. The mask seeks not to disguise the wearer but to transform him into a medium through which the spirit world could communicate with the v

*Vintage / Antique African Mask, Guro mask, related to the Baule
I could be wrong[hell. who is right ALL the time] But I think this mask is quite old.and I like it a LOT. Offered here cause I said I would, its about 26 inches long and retains most of its original paint. Z-7/ House. Hey.Like us on Facebook@ Old Weird Stuff-First of all. Thanks for looking at my items. These are compiled as a labor of love and as an attempt to get the best quality items into the most appreciative hands. For the sake of accuracy. Weight is posted to the nearest gram but occasionally, if very heavy, in ounces. Weight is always the total weight of the object and may or may not give a good idea of the scrap value as I do not guess the weight of wood. Mirrors, screws, bolts, or anything that may not be silver or gold. I do not take apart or clean anything after listing an item. It is up to the new owner to clean silver and other ... moremetals. My scale computes to the nearest gram and it has been tested and calibrated. A note to silver scrappers: There are those on Ebay who will claim that the weight of an object is less than advertised and demand a rebate after the auction has ended. This is an ongoing trend and these individuals seem to complain if silver prices go down between the day they buy and the day they receive. When one melts silver one can lose as much as 5% of the weight in the smelting process and I can not be held responsible for weight lost after melting. I do not generally melt anything that is well made as it makes little sense to me. So any potential loss should be considered before purchasing my items. All my items are measured with a standard tape measure and are rounded off to the quarter inch. I attempt to be as accurate as possible. But odd surfaces can prove difficult sometimes as I lack a pair of calipers. With over a thousand items in my store. Errors do occur, albeit infrequently. I'm not perfect, contrary to popular opinion. If there is any issue, please contact me first. Good feedback helps keep the cost of selling to a minimum, thus helping us b

FINE ANCESTRAL BAULE TRIBAL MASK, HAND-CARVED IN WOOD, IVORY COAST, WEST AFRICA
FINE ANCESTRAL BAULE TRIBAL MASK. HAND-CARVED IN WOOD, IVORY COAST, WEST AFRICA The Baule tribe live in Ivory Coast and Ghana. West Africa. They worship their ancestors and several nature gods, which they reshape in wooden sculptures. The mask in this auction is a fine example of a decorative ancestral mask that may have been used in rituals associated with the rebirth of life. It is hand-carved out of one single piece of dense wood. And has a lustrous finish. It represents a woman who may have died when young, with several marks of beauty: oval face with high forehead, well-proportioned straight nose and chin, sensual mouth, sleek hair. Yet it highlights elements of death as well, like the sunken eye sockets, the parted lips, and the three links of the wooden chain connecting life with the hereafter. Typical for Baule art are large structures ... moresuch as horns. Birds, or complicated coiffures on top of the head. In this case the ancestor must have been a person of power and wisdom, possibly a queen or princess, as is symbolized by the African elephant above her head. The mask measures 17 inches tall by 6 inches wide. Your questions are welcome and thank you for giving this auction your attention.

Pigment Dimensions cm: 84 tall x 20 wide 17 Depth This Stunning and rare mask was field collected from a village near Bongouanou. Cote D'ivoire We do not have any notes on this beautiful piece so we can't say why it was carved or for what purpose it would be used. All we do know is that there are no more of these masks in this village and we have not seen anything similar in other neighbouring villages that we have visited. The Baule are members of the Akan peoples. Who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. During the 18th century, the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The story of how they managed to break away from them ... morehas been preserved in their oral traditions. During the emergence of the Asante the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was in direct conflict with the Asante king, and when the Asante prevailed, the queen led her people away to the land they now occupy. Baule mythology holds that she had to sacrifice her son to the river god in order to complete the exodus safely. The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the original palace she established, and is honored by the Baule as their symbolic king. The Baule today are the most powerful group in Cote d'Ivoire, admired as highly skilled politicians, as well as talented artists, who have produced some of the most elegant objects known in West Africa.
