Organized in lineages, the Gouros are the western neighbors of the Baoulé. Their respective sculptures, by
their morphology, bear witness to their close relationships. Priest and soothsayer share the predominant
ritual functions among the Guro. The secret associations worship the geniuses of nature, through the masks

induction of a chief (Kerchache).
