Translation provided by Youdao
Very large wooden mask from the Baule peoples, Cote De Ivorie, West Africa. Carved wood with a large round geometric face and classic carving style, the tall antelope horns and cubistic like facial features. These masks were used for their harvest festivals and parades. A Goli is considered a family. The Goli festival is a day-long spectacle that involves the whole village. It is performed during funerals as well as commemorative occasions and agricultural events. The Goli masquerades involve three rituals during the day; at dawn, afternoon and after sunset. Kple kple masks appear at dawn and again briefly during the evening to announce the arrival of Goli Glin, a zoomorphic figure or kpwan, an anthropomorphic figure. Size: 41 in High
