Portrait Mask (Gba gba)-39/11.5 CM
Designed as part mask of a Baule theatrical tradition, known as "Mblo mask ," that combines dramatic skits and solo dances, this mask is an idealized representation of the prominent member of the community for which it was mask sculpted. Its lustrous carved surfaces suggest healthy skin set off by a delicately textured coiffure and facial scarifications. Within Baule culture, Mblo portrait masks are appreciated as the most refined and long-standing form of artistic expression. While they may depict either men or women, such works were generally commissioned by a man to honor a female relative or created by a carver in homage to a particular woman's dance skills and beauty
