Guro masks of Ivory Coast are known for a beauty in carving and design, skillfully combining human and animal features. The masks are thought to give their wearers spirit powers. The Guro have traded their techniques with neighboring tribes for years. Because of this, many Guro masks share traits with those of the Baule and Yaure people, who live adjacent to them.
