NDOMA FEMALE PORTRAIT FACE MASK. Baule people, Ivory Coast. These masks appear at daytime entertainment events to celebrate the image of an ideal woman. This mask is exceptional for two reasons. 1. Whereas the coiffure of the typical portrait mask has three lobes with the one in the center being larger, here the larger central lobe is flanked by three lobes of decreasing size cascading down each side. 2. Objects depicted on the coiffure are typically combs, birds, or animal horns and only rarely by human figures. Here the mask is topped by a woman seated on a traditional stool. Her serene visage complements the face of the mask and her arms resting on her abdomen are a sign of peace. H17.5in. W6.5in. Wood, pigment.
