Helmet Mask of the Mende, "Ndoli Jowei",...Sierra Leone, 40 cm (1' 4")
Masks of this type are an important part of Mende culture. They are worn exclusively by women during ritual dances. Representing water spirits, they play a central role in the Sande secret society, particularly during initiation ceremonies that prepare young girls for their transition into adulthood.
The present blackened mask is distinguished by its exceptionally graceful, finely modelled face. The hairline is encircled by four snakes competing for the same prey. Four horn-like projections and two elaborately fashioned hair knots further enhance the intricate coiffure. The mask is crowned by a movable bird, ingeniously designed to rotate. This remarkable feature, together with the extraordinarily detailed treatment of the hairstyle, demonstrates the exceptional skill and artistic sophistication of the sculptor.
Provenance: Michel Poulin, France; Gerhard F. Vesely, Austria.

Cast Brass Mask of the SenufoIvory Coast, 24 cm (9")
The ritual life of the Senufo is profoundly shaped by the Poro society, in whose ceremonies masks of this type play an important role.
The present old mask is the work of an exceptionally accomplished caster and is distinguished by the outstanding quality of its brass casting. The forehead is adorned with three scarification marks, a finely ribbed hairline, and two curved lines that meet at the temples. The head of a hornbill projects from the centre of the forehead. Semicircular ears are suggested on either side, while two peg-like projections extend from the lower edge, recalling those found on Kpelihe masks.
The face is conceived with strict symmetry. A prominent nose is flanked by two carefully outlined eye openings. Four lines, each terminating in a circular ornament, further enhance the balanced composition. The mouth is open, with a lip plug adorning the lower lip.
A magnificent patina, developed over many years, lends this important object a distinctive presence and further emphasises the exceptional quality of its artistic execution.

Face Mask of the Senufo, "Kpelihe"Ivory Coast, 30 cm (1')
The ritual life of the Senufo is profoundly shaped by the Poro society, within whose traditions masks of this type are worn in ceremonial dances during festivals and important ritual occasions.
The present mask is executed in the characteristic artistic style of the Senufo and displays an almost black surface finish. Two prominent horns crown the head, while the ears, adorned with stylised earrings, project from either side. Two peg-like extensions, characteristic of this mask type, emerge from the chin. A lip plug is visible beneath the perfectly circular mouth.
Between the two horns is an amulet decorated with cowrie shells. Below it runs a headband embellished with an undulating pattern, further emphasising the carefully conceived and finely executed design.
The harmonious combination of characteristic sculptural elements and decorative details lends this mask an impressive presence, making it a fine example of the traditional mask-making artistry of the Senufo.

Face Mask of the DanIvory Coast, 24 cm (9")
The present mask, with its almost black surface and beautifully developed patina, is distinguished by its serene and dignified appearance. The downcast gaze and finely modelled facial features convey an expression of benevolence and wisdom. The face is framed by an elaborately braided hairstyle, terminating in long, pendant plaits on either side.
In the traditional spiritual beliefs of the Dan, masks embody supernatural spirits and serve as intermediaries between the world of the living and the realm of the ancestors. Through them, a connection with the forebears is established, allowing their knowledge, experience, and spiritual power to become accessible to the community.
The remarkably restrained yet expressive design lends this mask a profound spiritual presence. Its beautiful patina, acquired over many years, further emphasises its original ritual significance and the artistic quality of this impressive object.
Provenance: Michel Poulin, France; Gerhard F. Vesely, Austria.

Face Mask of the Ligbi-Jimini, "Yangaleya"Ivory Coast, 27 cm (11")
The present mask, with its light brown surface adorned with delicate dotted decorations, is distinguished by its unusual and richly symbolic design.
Particularly remarkable is the element descending from the forehead, which at first glance resembles a lock of hair. In fact, it represents a stylised depiction of a kalao bird (hornbill), whose beak is clearly recognisable at the lower end.
Two tab-like projections extend from either side of the forehead, beneath which the ears emerge. These are coloured with indigo pigment, while the stylised earrings are highlighted with white kaolin. The eyes are likewise outlined in kaolin. Two indigo-blue dots in the lower facial area provide additional accents of colour, further enhancing the appealing ornamental composition.
Of particular interest is the preservation of elements of the original wearing apparatus. Rolled fabric bands remain attached to the edges of the mask, originally serving to protect the wearer, together with a cord used to secure the mask to the dancers head.
The harmonious combination of the stylised bird motif, carefully balanced colours, and finely executed details lends this mask exceptional artistic expressiveness. Moreover, the surviving functional elements make it a remarkable testament to the traditional masking culture of the Ligbi-Jimini.
Provenance: Oliver Castelani, France; Gerhard F. Vesely, Austria.
