A beautiful and unique handcrafted Goli tribe mask that originates from the Akan people from Ghana and the Ivory Coast who are known as The Baule. Common features of the round face mask include antelope shaped horns, oval eyes, rectangular shaped mouth and geometric designs. A red face is considered female and the dark/black face is considered male. The Goli masquerading tradition is performed during funerals or during times of danger. The mask wearer mediates with supernatural forces during the ritual, which have a positive influence on the village people
