Kpele Mask / Senufo / Cote d'Ivoire / metal / 13 inches / Private Collection / mid 20th entury.
The Kpele mask appears at the end of some funeral rites. The mask positions itself on the deceased person’s body while beating the Tyobige- drum in a frenzied rhythm, assisted by an initiate who agitates iron bells.
