This serene Guro mask from the Ivory Coast is a beautiful example of African tribal art. The mask is characterized by its unique hairstyle, with long, braided strands adorned with shells and other embellishments. The face is elongated with a delicate nose, closed eyes, and mouth, conveying a sense of tranquility and inner peace.

Imagine it displayed in a living room, bedroom, or meditation space, adding a touch of cultural richness and serenity.
