Ivoirian Avian Grace Hand Carved Guro Tribal African Mask
Leaning forward to caress the forehead, a graceful bird crowns this sese wood mask. The solemn visage boasts a narrow beard that curls in counterpoint to the slender avian body. Salihu Ibrahim uses manual tools to carve this mask with the detailed care that characterizes Guro artistry. For these Côte d’Ivoire people, masks personify the spirits of the underworld.
