Huge Guro / Kweni Elephant Face Mask, Ivory Coast, West Africa

Click the photo above for a larger version and more pictures

This is a sacred Guro African mask that has been delicately carved and colorfully finished . . . and was once used at sacrificial gatherings, funerals and other celebrations.  This mask was likely worn with a full body costume.  I really like the reddish polished wood.  In very good condition with a repair on the tusk tip.   Circa mid-1900’s.  A large and stunning trophy mask!   For the Serious Collector.  Stands not included.
