Image description

Central Ivory Coast is characterized by cultural assimilation and adoption. Connections can be seen in masquerades and in composite mask forms. Here, masks often blend human and animal features, and the depiction of elephant traits is a recurring theme. Among the Yaure, elephant masks are associated with a cult called Dye, and they appear when important sacrifices have to be made.
