The Story

  • Guro Zaouli Mask, Côte d'Ivoire # 224
  • In Côte d'Ivoire, the Zaouli refers both to a Mask and a Traditional Dance of the Guro People (have a look at the 2 last pictures), but presently the Dance has been adopted by an important number of other Ethnic Groups, neighboring the Guro People.
  • A synthesis of both Masks, the Boulou and the Djela, the Zaouli is therefore also named “Djelalou Zaouli”, which literally means “Zaouli, the Daughter of Djela”.
  • Created in Zrabi Sehifla in the 1950s by Ouinnaila, the Zaouli Mask is animated by a rhythm of the same name during its performances.
  • The first dancer who wore this type of Mask is Kouaï Bi Voïzié.
  • The Zaouli Mask is reputed to have powers to increase the productivity of the Village in which it is practiced. 
  • Age: approx 1950-60's
  • Measurements: Height = 45 cm; width = 21 cm; depth = 13 cm
  • Origin is  Côte d'Ivoire
