Descripción : Bete Face Mask with Elongated Chin Cote d'Ivoire AfricanThe Bete of the Ivory Coast live along the Sassandra River in large villages organized according to family lineages. Like neighboring peoples such as the We or the Dan and especially the We whose influence can be seen in this mask, the Bete carve and use masks of extraordinary form and inventiveness to represent the untamed forces of nature. , In the past masks such as this were worn during periods of social strife and war, whereas today they are danced primarily during funerals or are present during judicial proceedings or at times will dance to simply entertain clansmen and villagers. The surface of the mask has a thick coating of the remains of smoke and dust indicating the log use and age of the mask.  ,Recommended Reading: Kerchache's ART OF AFRICA  ,I have examined this piece and agree with the description.
