Goli masks, also
referred to as kple kple masks, are one of the great abstractions
in African art. They are used in ceremonies related to the Goli
festival of the Baule people. The Goli festivities date back
circa 1900 and are primarily held to celebrate new crops, the
visits of dignataries or periods of mourning.
