Product Description
Yohouré mask. Piece over 40 years old. Supplied on a base.
The Yaouré are divided into three main groups, each bringing together around twenty villages. Each village is headed by a chief, assisted by a council of elders. The language, religion, culture and yogurt art are influenced by their powerful neighbors the Baoulé and the Gouro. However, they have a great sense of identity and have created a characteristic and refined art.Among the Yohouré or Yaouré, African masks serve to influence the supernatural forces 'YU' responsible for the evils of men but also for their prosperity. Masks in this ethnic group are forbidden to women, they are most often danced to restore the social and political imbalance that death can cause. The Yohourés influenced the Baoulés with regard to the aesthetics of the masks and were themselves influenced by the Gouro style. On this mask, the nose and hair are reminiscent of the Gu des Gouro masks. The hair is arranged in three very elaborate semi-circles: this is the sign among the Yohouré of power and wealth *. The masks of this ethnic group give off a serenity, a gentleness which are due to relatively lenient living conditions (climate and agriculture favored by the wooded lagoon region they occupy). Yohouré masks are often surrounded by a characteristic jagged border which structures the mask and emphasizes the general harmony of the shapes.
