Guro

Guro people live surrounded by savannah and forest. Village life is regulated by a council of elders, representing each main family, and by secret societies.

Guro face masks are carved with extremely pointed chins, protruding mouths, long linear noses, bulging slanted eyes and a high-domed forehead which is sometimes adorned with scarifications.

Guro artists carved figures, varying in height from 20 to 80 cm.
