African Gouro Ceremonial - Tribal Mask - Hand Carved - Wood - Ivory Coast Guro
Origin: The Guro people reside in the central region of Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
Purpose: Guro masks are primarily used in rituals and ceremonies, including funerals, harvest celebrations, and initiation rites, connecting the physical and spiritual realms.
Symbolism: This mask likely represents a beautiful female figure, such as Gu, the wife of the mythical male being Zamble, or an idealized ancestor, embodying Guro ideals of feminine beauty.
Significance: While traditionally associated with sacred rituals and secret societies (where some masks were restricted from women's view), Guro masks are also used in more secular entertainment festivals and dances, like the Zaouli dance.
