Damage/Repair, chips and cracks to the back, Additional Information: This mask from the Baule people of the Ivory Coast belongs to a special grouping known as âportrait masksâ. Called ândomaâ by the Baule. Portrait masks are said to portray an honored person of the village who is celebrated during a ceremonial dance known as âMbloâ. It is an aesthetic performance in which this beautifully carved mask would be worn with a multicolored costume and danced in the most graceful manner by either the person it represents or a relative. The âMbolaâ dance reflects feminine virtues including graceful movements and elegant dancing steps and celebrates her beauty. These masks are danced to entertain during days that the Baule do not work and they will also appear to honor important visitors to the village. The refined and finally carved face may be similar to the person for whom the mask was originally carved to represent. The closed eyes and pursed mouth indicate propriety and respect in keeping the eyes downcast with a sense of reserve that a mature woman will cultivate. The slight scarification along the eyes and mouth and on the forehead may be for magical purposes for an aesthetic statement.

They have played a central role in 20th 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 West Coast. According to a legend, during the 18th 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 of the eastern coast 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.

This miniature is exceptionally well-carved and exhibits details found on Yaure masks. Miniatures like this are use as personal mask of initiated adult men and would be carried everywhere When traveling, initiates would take passport ... moremasks with them in leather pouches. The masks would serve as protective spirits. Passport masks serve also to mark the passage of an initiate into the men's secret society and his elevation into the higher ranks.

Diviner would recommend that small masks be given to children to wear to ward off evil witches or cure illnesses. Passport masks were kept on personal shrines when not in use.

A rather small ethnic group located in Cote d'Ivoire(Ivory Coast) Between the Baule and Guro people, the Yohure are heavily influenced religously, culturally, and artistically by their much larger neighbors. Despite these influences, however, the Yohure have a strong sense of cultural identity, and have developed an exquisite artistic style that is most prominently featured in their breathtaking masks. Generally human ... morein appearance, often with elements of animals incorporated, the lo masks are generally associated with their use in funerary ceremonies. And are intended both to guide the spirits of the deceased into the afterlife, as well as to help restore social order in the event that a death greatly upsets the community. Considered spiritual emblems, the masks are said to be quite dangerous, as the yu spirits they represent are known to be capable of harming humans. As such, they must be handled with the utmost care. Because of this association with death, women are not only not allowed to participate in dances with these masks, but are not generally allowed to view them at all. The Yohure believe that this proximity to death can cause a woman to lose her fertility, an unthinkable prospect in many African cultures. This gorgeous Yohure lo mask displays many of the common traits that make them so lauded and desirable. The coiffure is elegantly rendered. Featuring intricate detail, the face features beautifully embossed scarification markings on the cheeks, and the overall condition of the piece is really quite good.

Baule Mbra Carved Wood Monkey African Tribal Art Figure Mature
The monkey spirits of the Baule. Known as Mbra or Gbekre by the tribe, are considered figures of power and are used in many rituals. In one such ritual, a trance divination, the spirit of the Mbra assists the diviner in his efforts to convey messages from the spirits in the other world and solve problems during consultations. Normally invisible, this was one rare occasion where an Mbra spirit could be seen by ordinary people. When not in use, the Mbra would be displayed on a shrine. Considered too powerful for women to see, the monkey figures were kept hidden in the bush and fed with sacrificial offerings. It was these offerings, sacrifices, and ritual libations which were poured over the figure that created the encrusted patina. This figure was crafted in the early to mid 20th century, and is holding a bowl in its hands which was used as ... morea container for magical elements. The face features an opened squared mouth with large canines at the corners. Provenance: These pieces were collected over a period of several decades out of collections from America and throughout Europe, including France, Germany, Belgium, and Amsterdam beginning in the early 1960s. The items in this collection have been identified by George Mack, former director of the Arizona African Art Museum. A fantastic piece that's perfect for your collection!

The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Three hundred years ago the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The tale of how they broke away from the Asante has been preserved in their oral traditions. During the Asante rise to power the Baule queen.

The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the palace she established and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king. Religion includes both ancestor worship and a heirarchy of nature gods.

The gba gba is used at the funerals of women during the harvest season. It celebrates beauty and age. Hence its refined features. The double mask represents the marriage of the sun and the moon or twins. Whose birth is always a good sign. The bonu amuen protects the village from external threats; it obliges the woman to a certain discipline; and it appears at the commemorations ... moreof death of notables. When they intervene in the life of the community. They take the shape of a wooden helmet that represents a buffalo or antelope and which is worn with a raffia costume and metal ankle bracelets; the muzzle has teeth. Which incarnate the fierce animal that is to defend the group. Goli is the day-long spectacle that normally involves the whole village and includes the appearance of four pairs of masks. Music played on special instruments. And, ideally, the jojoyous consumption of a great deal of palm wine. Goli can be performed both as an entertainment and for the funeral of important men. The very characteristic. Round-shaped“lunar” goli is surmounted by two horns. It was borrowed from the Wan for a celebration adopted by the Baule after 1900. Celebrating peace and joy. They would sing, dance, and drink palm wine. In the procession, the goli preceded the four groups of dancers. Representing young adolescents. The goli would be used on the occasion of the new harvest, the visit of dignitaries, or at the funerals of notables. The goli kplekple mask is one of several that appear in the Goli spirit dance.
