BAULE, METAL MASK 13, 8.5" x 2" deep, $250, SOLD,
Ivory Coast
Most Baule masks are wood, these are made of a copper alloy by the complex
traditional lost-wax process. They can be wall hung on a single pin, the
smaller ones could be worn as well. The larger ones , without a top loop,
have been wired for hanging.
Although elegantly made this Baule metal mask shows no evidence
of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
