Descripción : Guro, Ivory Coast, H: 14 1/2Wonderfully carved, the pair of boxers about to engage in fisticuffs atop the serene and well patinated feminine face.Comments: Surmounting this mask is a whimsical interpretation of community life: a pair of boxing figures are about to strike one another in absolute contrast to the quiet and lowered eyes of the female face below. This would suggest a competition for the young woman's affections and patterned mating rituals of the prime of life. A similar example, also depicting two boxers and described as a Seri Mask, can be found in Die Kunst der Guro, Elfenbeink
