The horn was broken off, but has been well repaired, and is therefore on sale.
The very characteristic, round-shaped "lunar" goli is surmounted by two horns. Celebrating peace and joy, the Baule would sing, dance & drink palm wine.
Four pairs of danced masks appear in the Goli procession, & this disk mask represents Kple Kple, the young male adolescents. It has both sun & buffalo features.
The mask was also danced through the village to avert evil. It is a humorous mask, which imitates a mischievious, disobedient child.
