A Baule mask, Ivory Coast, of oval shape, a thin jaw line with at its end a kissing mouth, long pointed nose, crescent shaped eyes with a slit horizontal opening at the center, the sculpture has decorated the top of the head with one bird, placed between two horns. The delicate rounded features and harmonious a-symmetry, evoking feelings of tranquility and balance together and contemplative gaze reflect the Baule aesthetic's emphasis on intellect and reverence. Its nuanced individuality, highly refined details, make it of powerful presence; traces of ritual use.
“To articulate historians, the most consistent features of Baule art is a kind of peaceful containment. Faces tend to have downcast eyes and figures most often hold their ams against the body. […] Among their abundant art forms, the Baule people continue to place the greatest value on masks and figure sculptures, which remain the only sculptural art still widely used in Baule villages. While there is a difference between the Baule view of their objects and that of Western connoisseurs, there are points of agreement. Aesthetic appreciation is one: Baule artist, and individual owners of objects, certainly sometimes enjoy the beauty of these objects and the skill it took coproduce them. […]
Ornaments above the face are chosen for their beauty and have no iconographic significance” p.141

"Portrait masks embody the core Baule sculptural style that is echoed in figural sculpture and decorative arts. They also have provided Baule sculptors with their prime opportunity for artistic invention, and the corpus demonstrates enormous formal diversity. This diversity is often apparent in imaginative decorative passages extending above the face […] Such masks appeared as the final sequence of an operatic public entertainment known as Mblo. Mblo performances consist of a succession of dances that escalate in complexity and importance, culminating ultimately in tributes to the community's most distinguished member. Individuals honored in this way are depicted by a mask that is conceived of as their artistic double or namesake.
