Côte d'Ivoire, Gouro people, 1940s/1950s, superb old hardwood "Gu" dance mask featuring an elegant elongated female face with fine features. The slightly raised eyebrow arches extend into a long, fine nose and a mouth revealing two rows of filed teeth, as was customary among Gouro women before the 1920s. This mask representing a beautiful woman (mother or daughter) is linked to the male zamble mask (husband or father), without which she is never displayed outside the sacred wood. Beautiful dark-brown lacquered patina.
Height 41 cm (51.5 cm with base). The scale indicator on the last photograph is a small model of a lighter of a brand known to all.
