Senufo Kpeliye mask

Superb African Senoufo mask of the Kpeliye type. In very good condition, the mask is dazzling with its details and refinement.

The appendages suggest women's hairstyles or pendants and the ram's horns refer to sacrifice.

This type of traditional mask from Ivory Coast was linked to the Poro society.
