Description:

This 'Kpan Pre' mask represents a young girl. It features, in most cases with two horns, in the dance cycle in honor of the buffalo god 'Goli'. In central Ivory Coast, among the Baule people, the Goli dances are performed as part of the funeral ceremonies for important men. Four different mask types perform in subsequent pairs and dance for an entire day. The four types are: a round buffalo mask, 'Kplekple' (young and male), the head crest mask, 'Goli Glen' (a hybrid creature with horns and a large mouth symbolising an old man), the 'Kpan Pre' mask (a young girl, like this mask) and finally the 'Kpan' mask, representing an old woman.
