Short Description:

The graceful aesthetics of the Yohure masks of the Ivory Coast are the inspiration for "Siriya," a highlight of the debut collection "Golden Guardians."

Refined with luminous gold leaf and accented by the sparkle of golden and diamond white crystals, this mask is an ode to a fulfilling journey of life.

The Symbolic Meaning

In the Yohure tradition, fertility is the sacred beginning of every long and rich journey of life—the "Siriya." This mask embodies the blessings that accompany this path. Its gentle, meditative face stands for the wisdom and inner peace one gains on a long journey. The striking headdress, which strives towards the sky, acts like an antenna, receiving protective energy and guidance for the path ahead. The diamond white and golden crystals symbolize the clarity of vision and the purity of intention on this journey. The received energy is manifested on the chin in a ring of crystals—the symbol for the fruits of the journey, the collected wealth of experience, and the achievement of a fulfilling goal. "Siriya" is thus a guardian that symbolizes a prosperous and protected path of life.

The Signature of the Handmade

Every Aurea mask is a unique piece, finished by hand. The journey from a raw piece of wood to this work of art is an organic process. Small, material-related imperfections, the visible wood grain, or fine lines that arise from natural drying are not flaws. They are the authentic signature of the material and the craftsmanship—proof of genuine, one-of-a-kind quality.
