This rare and fabulous Baga Snake Mask from Guinea. This society mask is worn in the traditional use of wearing them on the shoulder, The traditional Baga snake which was worn in a vertical state off the mans shoulder. The spiritual force represented by this headdress, known as a-Mantsho-na-Tshol, or roughly "master of medicine," reigns supreme in Baga society. The primary physical manifestation of a-Mantsho-na-Tshol is as this brilliantly colored, larger-than-life aquatic serpent resembling a boa constrictor. The sinuous curves and undulating contours of the elegant sculptural representation evoke the power, elusive grace, and flexibility of this Baga spiritual entity. This would be a fabulous addition to your collection.
