They mark the passage as an initiate into the man's secret society and his attaining a higher rank. At the suggestion of diviners small masks would be given to children to wear to ward off evil or cure illness. Men carried small“passport” masks in leather pouches when they traveled as a form of identification. This mask is thought to be around 5 years old and measures 4.5" X 2.5"

carved slate ? DAN BAULE MASK Portrait Ivory Coast Africa Beeswax? clay? on back
I recognized this as a Baule face but never saw one in slate- I think it's slate. The stone is in layers. It might also be some kind of very hard dark gray clay( see close- ups of back) or else has clay added to the slate on the back? It has what looks like a think application of beeswax or( opaque dark golden wax) affixed to the back which is holding a hanging device made of thick aluminum? or some other metal. It's the color of aluminum. Some pieces on the side have broken off- please see photos. It's a very nicely done face. Almost delicate. It measures approx 3 7/8" wide x 6 1/4" long.

Guro Baule Brass Mask Bird on Top Cote D'Ivoire African
Title, Guro Baule Brass Mask Bird on Top SUPERB CASTING African, Type of Object, Mask. Metalwork, Country of Origin, Cote d'Ivoire, People, Guro or Baule, Materials, Brass, Approximate Age, 20th century, Dimensions, Height: 9.5 inches, Overall Condition, Fair to good, Damage/Repair, holes in forehead and cheeks. Some oxidation on the surface, a few scratches Additional Information: Small casting mask. This lost wax cast of a copper alloy mask(bronze or brass) comes from the Guro or Baule people of the Ivory Coast in west Africa. Though brass masks are not normally used by the greater number of Akan peoples including the Asante or Fante. They are often found attached to various chiefly regalia prominent on sword sheaths or chiefly stools. They are said to represent the heads of defeated enemies and are shown with some evidence of ... morelocal scarification which is rare among the Akan but often shown on terracotta sculptures. The face shows a beard around the lower section of the mask. It is difficult to determine the age of this small mask however the attention to detail and the abstraction of the features show that this was the product of a skilled craftsman. This is probably an example from the 20th century. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. PhD. 41666* All content.

Lot 86, Outstanding Baule Portrait Mask with Elaborate Coiffure, Ivory Coast
Baule art is sophisticated and stylistically diverse. Non-inherited. The sculptor’s profession is the result of a personal choice. The Baule have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess. Wooden sculptures and masks allow a closer contact with the supernatural world. Baule statues are usually standing on a base with legs slightly bent, with their hands resting on their abdomen in a gesture of peace, and their elongated necks supporting a face with typically raised scarification and bulging eyes. The coiffure is always very detailed and is usually divided into plaits. Measures- 13 1/2" X 7" HEAVY SOLID WOOD
