The Baule tribe from the Ivory Coast have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess. Wooden sculptures and masks allow a closer contact with the supernatural world. The coiffure is always very detailed and is usually divided into plaits. Baule carvers are most concerned with depicting accurate human features in their masks. Through apprenticeship, the young man learns the proper aesthetics of Baule sculpture, which include smooth patina, balanced proportion, clear lines and well rounded asymmetry. ©
