Description
The Yaouré are a sub-group of the Akan people present in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. Geographically close to the Baoulé and the Gouros, the influence of these ethnic groups can be felt in Yaouré art through attention to detail and aesthetics. African art masks Yaouré , or Yauré , are divided into two groups that are difficult to distinguish, the I , sometimes with the addition of colored pigments, and the lo , generally with a dark patina, which intervene during funeral ceremonies or any other rite in order to conciliate the favors of the "Yu" spirits. This specimen named Anoman,Lomane, (bird) is part of the fourth of the seven I masks which originally danced around the deceased and bent down to touch it for purifying purposes. It also appears at present during rejoicings.
These masks were prohibited, insofar as the masked dancers Yoouré, Yahouré, were not to be seen by women, it was also forbidden to photograph them.
