Product Description
Bété mask from Ivory Coast. Ceremonial mask. Original piece over 50 years old. Piece on base.
The Bete are a people of farmers living in the southwest of Côte d'Ivoire, between the Bandama and Sassandra rivers. Only the western territory of the Bete bears witness to a masked tradition which is inspired by the We models, used by the Gla society and transmitted through the neighboring Nyabwa. This origin is supported by the use of the Nyabwa language during masked dances, but also by the intervention of the Nyabwa who teach their role to the wearers of beast masks. Masks occur in funeral rites, when mourning or in honor of an important personality. On this occasion, the masks - or one of their attendants - sometimes carry a spear perhaps recalling the initial function of warrior masks.
Item delivered with an invoice and a certificate of authenticity.
