The Baule masks are among the most sought-after 'classical' masks of West Africa. This is particularly true for the type of ‘Mblo’ masks worn in the gba gba dance, which is considered a woman’s dance, because women are expected and allowed to take part in it. It is a dance performed as entertainment on rest days or during mourning ceremonies for people associated with this dance.
Beautiful patina on the inside and outside, several delicate cracks from age.

Beautiful piece, unfortunately not old as told (beginning 20th century) but instead last quarter of th20th century. The patina is clearly not genuine, made and aged with the “smoking/smoked” process.
