This is a zamble mask made from the Guro people of the Ivory Coast. Zamble masks combine animal and human features, and are typically worn at festivals and funerals. The mask has two large horns that jut from the forehead. They have a light brown stripe in the middle of the two black sides of each horn. On the forehead are three carved wood squares with two vertical lines in each. The eyes are a light brown circle with an almond shaped pupil, with an eye slit in both. There is a small ridge on the nose. The nose continues down into diamond patterns. The mask features a snout or a long mouth. There are triangle shaped teeth carved into each lip. The tongue is carved from the wood. Some evidence of wood splitting. The mask has six drilled holes on the rim.
