Mask - Yaure - Côte d'Ivoire (No reserve price)

Yaouré decorative African mask with hornbills on the head. The hornbill symbolises just as much teaching as protection. Its main function is to protect the person who wears it, especially against witchcraft. But it can also be used for divination or be an altar object for which offerings can be made. Finally, it serves to attest the rank of its wearer, as well as their lineage.
