An Early to Mid 20th Century delicately carved Senufo Kpelie Mask, with authentification certificate, combining both human and animal features. Although owned and worn only by men the Kpelie represented the concept of feminine beauty and fertility. The unique features which characterize the Kpelie mask include elongated flanges radiating from the bottom part of the mask, which are a reference to the hornbill bird. The horns on the mask refer to the ram, an important sacrificial animal. The nodules on the forehead represent palm nuts as well as vulva's; they are flanked by characterisation marks that symbolise the twins born to the primodial couple. The Kpelie mask was used at initiation in the societies for boys, adolescents and adults, at funeral rituals designed to lead the spirit into the land of the dead and at harvest festivals to thank the ancestors for a good crop. The piece is made of wood, cloth and cowrie shells and measures approx. 12 ins (30.5 cms) in height, 8 ½ ins (22 cm) wide.[Previously owned by the late Vaughan Lawson Baird, with documents which show communication between Vaughan L Baird and Esther A Dagan (Gallerie Anred) who wrote many books including 'The Sprits Image' to which this mask appears on page 88 and 193].
