ABOUT MASK

Baule mask also known as Goli masks originate from West African countries that include Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire.

Baule masks are typically used in tribal dances during harvest festivals, in processions to honor guests and at funerals of highly acknowledged members. If you have any questions pertaining to this mask, please feel free to contact us.
