Baule, Ivory Coast: A portrait mask, representing a man with goatee beard.
A fine portrait mask of the Baule people, called ‘Mblo’ or ‘Ndoma mask’. For a more detailed explanation see cat. no. 36.

The short, round shaped goatee terminates in a thick ‘button’. A piece with old, shiny usage patina on front and back (inside). Light colour scuffing and minimal, slight cracks on the front. Otherwise, no appreciable damage. H: 33 cm. First half of the 20th century. (ME)
