Colorful Yohure Masks

Ivory Coast, Yohure Tribe, 6 very different colorful masks (not currency items); the masks of the Yohure represent human faces often supplemented by animal attributes. They have an elongated face with a protruding mouth and pierced semi-circular eyes set under a high forehead. An elaborate plaited coiffure parted on each side, often with horns at the end, completes the image. They are considered emblems of yu spirits, very dangerous, and have to be handled with extreme caution.
