Ivory Coast Bete tribe Old Wobe masks 1950 African Art

Item Details

Description

Ivory Coast. Bete tribe. Old Wobe masks. 1950 circa. 1610 gr. â€“ 40x22x20 cm. Extremely rare. Provenance Fall Elhadji. Bete carvers are renowned for one particular type of face mask, the gre or nyabwa , which has exaggerated, grimacing distorted features â€“ a large protruding mouth, facial protuberances, bulging forehead, elongated nose, with nostrils sometimes extending to each side of the face, and globular or bulging slit eyes set beneath a high-domed forehead carved with a medium ridge. In earlier days, this mask presided over the ceremony held when peace was restored after armed conflicts and it participated in sessions of customary justice. This type of mask was also worn to prepare men for war; the masks offered magical protection by instilling fear and terror in potential enemies. Nowadays, it is worn for a variety of ceremonies, including entertainment dances.
