Mask (Kple Kple or Kouassi Gbe)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The mask is circular and made of dark brown wood. Two long, curved horns protrude from the top. The face has two small triangular holes for eyes, two vertical cylindrical protrusions for nostrils, and a small oval mouth with lines carved into it. Two small cylindrical pieces are on either side of the face, just below the eyes. The background is black at the top and fades to white at the bottom. The mask is titled "Mask (Kple Kple or Kouassi Gbe)" by an unknown artist.
