A pair of vintage West African masks. The first mask is a Senufo tribe Guro mask (Cote d'Ivoire / Mali), a horned mask of carved and painted wood measuring 20" x 9" x 5 1/2". The second mask is a Dan tribe Poro mask (Cote d'Ivoire / Liberia), carved wood and cloth with bells, braided cords, and cowrie shells affixed, measuring 13" x 9" x 4 1/2".
The Senufo mask is in very good condition, and the Dan mask is in good condition, noting wear to the bells and overall soiling.
