Ivory Coast, Baoulé mask
The Baoulés (Ba Ou li) are a people of Côte d’Ivoire, living mainly in the center of the country, near the cities of Bouaké and Yamoussoukro. They represent around 23% of the country’s population (around 3,943,667 individuals), which makes the Baoulés the first ethnic group in the country, ahead of the Betes and the Senoufos, who constitute the country’s second and third ethnic groups respectively. The Baoulés are part of the Akan group and are from neighboring Ghana. They settled in Ivory Coast in the 18th century, guided by Queen Abla Pokou. The name Baoulé comes from the sacrifice, by Queen Pokou, of one of her sons in order to cross a river, while she was leading the flight of her people from Ghana: ba ou li (the child is dead). The Baoulés settled between the Bandama and Comoé rivers.

Vue Rapide€3.100,00The Idoma are an ethnolinguistic group that mainly inhabits the western regions of Benue, Nigeria, and related groups are found in Cross Rivers State, Enugu State and Nasarawa State in Nigeria. The Idoma language is classified in the Akweya subgroup of the idomoid languages of the Volta family – Niger, which includes the Alago, Agatu, Etulo and Yala languages of the Benue, Nasarawa and Northern Cross states. The Akweya subgroup is closely linked to the Yatye-Akpa subgroup. Most of the territory is inland, south of the Benue River, some seventy-two kilometers east of its confluence with the Niger River. The Idomas are known to be classy “warriors” and “hunters”, but welcoming and peace-loving. Most of the land of Idoma remained largely unknown in the West until the 1920s, leaving much of the colorful traditional culture of Idoma intact. The population of Idoma is estimated at around 4 million. The Idoma people have a traditional chief called Och’Idoma who is the head of the Traditional Council of the region of Idoma while each community has its own traditional chief such as Ad’Ogbadibo d’Orokam, chief of Enenche.

Instead their communities are based on the laws of God. The central figure in each Lobi community is the religious specialist named the Thildar. this soothsayer is responsible for communicating with the spirits that govern the community and protecting members of each family from accidents, illness, violence and all the multiple threats people encounter in the hostile environment of West Africa . The carved Lobi represent the spirits of nature they called Thil. Each of these figures displays different gestures or postures, some of them can have two or even three heads, some female figures carry a baby under the arm. These unique characteristics represent the particular talent or power of the spiritual being they embody. A figure raising an arm places a roadblock at the entrance of the malicious spirits at the family home.
