Impressive Mask - Wood - Glé or Gré - Bete - Côte d'Ivoire

Bete mask, from the Western part of Cote d'Ivoire, west side of the Sassandra river. To materialize the hostile forces of the forest, the Bete carved this type of mask that provoked the horror, the Glé or Gré, with the biscorned features. In the past, this mask presided over peace-restorer ceremonies after armed conflicts and participated in customary justice sessions. The mask, carved in a single piece of wood, has a impressive spider face. Some wood cracks and small missing parts - see pictures.
