Yaure - Côte d'Ivoire (No Reserve Price)

Julien Gauthier

Selected by Julien Gauthier

Schöne alte Yaure / Yohure Maske. "Die bekanntesten Masken der Yohure, einer kleinen Ethnie in der zentralen Elfenbeinküste, stellen ein menschliches Gesicht dar, das von Tierattributen ergänzt wird. Sie gehören entweder zu den je- oder den lo-Masken, zwei schwer zu differenzierenden Maskengruppe, mit deren Hilfe die übernatürlichen Mächten (yu) beeinflusst werden sollen, die den Menschen Schaden zufügen, aber auch ihr Wohlergehen sicherstellen." Literaturangaben: I. Hahner-Herzog, M. Kecskési, László Vajda, Afrikanische Masken, Prestel-Verlag, München, New-York, 1997

Beautiful old Yaure / Yohure mask.

The most well-known masks of the Yohure, a small ethnicity in central Ivory Coast, represent a human face complemented by animal attributes. They belong either to the je or lo masks, two groups of masks that are difficult to differentiate, which are intended to influence the supernatural powers (yu) that cause harm to humans but also ensure their well-being.
