Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: 20Th C. African Guro Painted Wood Female Gu Mask



Beschreibung : West Africa, Ivory Coast, Guro culture, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A remarkable hand-carved wooden mask representing idealized female beauty known as a gu. Boasting a lustrous burnish over a vibrant hue of crimson, the elongated visage features thick, pink-painted lips, a pointed nose, and a pair of heavy-lidded, slit eyes under an arched brow, all flanked by two petite ears. The vizard's sizable, convex forehead is capped by a black, undulating coiffure with white horizontal striations and a top avian decoration of a white bird with a long neck and a large raised tail. Four annular drill holes for attaching to costume, attaching ornaments, or securing to the wearer can be found on the periphery of the mask. Size: 5.875 W x 18.5 H (14.9 cm x 47 cm) Gu masks are part of a Guro group of masks that are considered a family, consisting of a grotesque animal called a zauli, a horned mask known as a zamble, and a gu, which takes the form of a human. Gu, who is zamble's wife, performs last of the three and dances slowly and gracefully to flute music as she sings songs in honor of zamble.
