  • Yaure Mask, Côte d'Ivoire #2
  • Measurements:  39×16×11 cm
  • The Yaure are a small Ethnic Group inhabiting the Central Region of Côte d’Ivoire. Yaure History is closely linked with that of the Baule People, since they were part of the migration of the Akan peoples from Ghana as the Ashante Kingdom rose to power during the 18th century. 
  • The Yaure People are well known for their striking Portrait Masks. Although they display artistic elements of their Neighbors, the Baule and Guro Peoples, there are some distinctive features which make these Masks particularly appealing. The most common of these elements are the serrated edges surrounding the border of the face.
  • The Yaure produced two types of Masks, those that were black or dark coffee toned, and those that were brightly painted with polychrome colors.
  • The darker ones were used in Funeral Processions, and are highly-prized by collectors for their stark beauty. Known as "Lo" masks, their purpose was to appease supernatural powers known as "Yu."
  • The "Yu",  though vital for life, could also destroy, so veneration was important to ease the understandable social and spiritual tension present after the Death of an Elder.
  • The more colorful masks are difficult to differentiate from those of Guro People, and probably have similar functions, which are many, from Judicial Proceedings to Magical Ceremonies.
  • Masks of this type represent human faces supplemented by animal attributes. The styles of Yaure Masks inspired their neighbors to develop Masks of a type similar in design; they evince stylistic influences of the Guro People, with whom the Yaure are related.
  • In the present example here, the slightly open mouth and downward introspective gaze as well as the narrow nose recall the Gu Masks of the neighboring Guro.
  • This Object Does NOT come with a Base or Stand. A Base can be custom ordered and available in 2-3 weeks at an additional cost of $75 for this item.
  • Brian's Notes: the delicate yet highly detailed skilled execution of the carving details is excellent. The back of the Mask is stunning and confirms long time wear and use.

From dry to soft in days.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
I bought this moisturizer at a time when my skin truly needed help, with mature and sensitive skin, and I was dealing with intense dryness. My skin felt tight, dull, and uncomfortable, even after trying several products that didn’t provide lasting hydration. I decided to try this cream and within the first few days, I noticed a real difference. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel greasy, and most importantly, it doesn’t irritate my skin—instead, it soothes it. With continued use, my skin became softer, more supple, and visibly healthier, without that constant tight feeling. I love that it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, and non-comedogenic, as it hasn’t caused any breakouts. It also contains ceramides and niacinamide, and the added SPF makes my routine much easier. After trying many products, I can honestly say this is the only one that truly worked for me. It’s now a daily essential.

Nice!!
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
This has become one of my favorite skincare products. I previously used Neutrogena Hydro Boost along with a separate moisturizer because I wanted hydration without feeling greasy, but this product feels like the two had a child and combined the best qualities of both. It provides all-day hydration, yet it never leaves my face feeling oily, heavy, or sticky. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day and under sunscreen. My skin feels moisturized for much longer than it did with my previous routine, and I appreciate that I can get the hydration I want without that shiny, over-moisturized feeling. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lightweight moisturizer that still delivers lasting hydration.

Moisturizing & repairs skin barrier, but does pill.
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
Given myself a couple weeks of consistent use before giving a review. There are a lot of pros to this product which include: moisturizing and stays moisturized all day, made my PIE marks (post acne marks) fade a lot faster. Repairs my skin barrier, especially while using tretinoin nightly, not too thick but thick enough to keep my face hydrated. It does not have a smell. The cons are: slight burn for about 15 seconds but disappears, it pills if I apply too much. It does pill less if I pat it on my face versus rubbing; it does not pill when I apply liquid foundation. I just have to let it dry for 15-20 mins before applying makeup. I found the pros to overpower the cons and will continue to use this product.

Great daily lotion
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 3.38 Fl Oz (Non SPF)
Great daily lotion. I love that it is light and fragrance free. It is perfect for day use. I have dry skin and sometimes it is not enough to use by itself. I mostly use it during the day as a base for sunscreen but it feels really good on the face and does not leave my face feeling greasy. The ingredients are really good and the value for money is great. I love LRP products and this is so easy to use.
