Bobo Bwa, Burkina Faso: A ‘buffalo mask’.
A helmet mask in the shape of a buffalo head with round horns. Made of light-coloured, lightweight wood, the surfaces of the arched relief are dyed black, white and red. Carved in the style of the Bobo Bwa (their neighbours, the Gurunsi and Nuna tribes, have very similar masks). These ‘buffalo masks’ are tied to a full-body costume and worn in a slanted position on the head. An old piece with good patina and minor age damage (tears, colour scuffed, edges chipped). First half to mid-20th century; H: 25 cm, L: 54 cm. (ME)
