The zamble mask carved by the Guro people of the Ivory Coast is a sacred carving representing a supernatural being. These masks are characterized by an elongated form featuring the horns of an antelope and the teeth bearing jaw of a leopard. They typically feature red, white and black pigment and intricate carved patterns representing tribal markings. The mask was danced in ceremonies to bring luck and protection from negative forces. As the mask represents a capricious and complex spirit, it requires swift and gracious dance moves.
