Introduction:

No background information on this type of mask could be found during research. The dealer information only states the area of the Gueré and that it was a well find. Careful cleaning seemed to confirm this hint.

Old casting. Heavily corroded surface, small chips at the back. Indicated jewellery at cheek level. Tattoos at the corners of the mouth and on the forehead. Headgear or elaborate hairstyle.
