Contrairement aux masques Dan stylistiquement apparentés, les anciens masques Wè à visage féminin sont rares et celui-ci s'impose, par ses qualités sculpturales et son ancienneté, parmi les plus exceptionnels du corpus. Selon Gnonsoa (in AFAA, Corps sculptés, corps parés, corps masqués, chefs-d'œuvre de Côte d'Ivoire, 1989 : 117), les masques féminins reflètent l'idéal Wè de beauté et d'élégance. Ces qualités sont ici superbement exprimées par les yeux en coque étroitement fendus, le modelé de la bouche aux lèvres ourlées, et la richesse de la parure : scarifications finement sculptées autrefois rehaussées de têtes de clous en cuivre et coiffure très élaborée, aux tresses rapportées.
Voir Robbins et Nooters (African Art in American Collections, 1989, p. 168, n° 329) pour un masque très apparenté.
