The Baule Double-face Mask is a type of mask used in the Mblo masquerade of the Baule people of Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa. The Mblo masquerade is a form of entertainment that combines dramatic skits and solo dances ¹. The Baule people have a rich carving tradition, and many sculpted figures and masks of human form are utilized in personal shrines and in masquerade performances ¹.

The Baule Double-face Mask is a highly stylized composition of double-faced twin masks that are the abstract projection of ideas relating to complementary opposites ¹. The highly stylized compositions of double-faced twin masks are the abstract projection of ideas relating to complementary opposites ¹. The individual thus honored is depicted by a mask that is conceived as his or her artistic "double" or "namesake" ¹. Traditionally, Baule villages owned up to a dozen Mblo masks, though not all of them necessarily appeared at every performance ¹.
