Guro Mask
Guro masks are dancing masks, and their masquerade is well known in West African villages. They serve entertainment and represent social roles. Male dancers don masks and dance competitions are held between neighboring villages.
The dance usually throws 3 characters. The first, known as Gu, was a beautiful young woman with intricately styled hair. The second is Zauri, an old man with a beard. The third number is the Zamble, a type of antelope that may be common in the area.
Human faces are often covered with decorative animal-shaped elements. The intricacy of the carving shows the creativity and skill of the artist. Revered for their elegance and attention to detail, these masks are among the finest in West Africa.
Note that there is a tear at the bottom of the back of the mask to give it more character. The Fumigation/Treatment Wood Certificate will be attached to you as a copy of the receipt.
