African Mask Bobo Buni Mask Carved Figure Burkina Faso Initation Bobo Buni Mask
This is a Vintage and Rare Buni Mask with a carved Figure from Burkina Faso. These masks are believed to possess special powers which are controlled by those who wear them. The wearer looks through a hole in the mouth. The eyes are based on an owl and the hooked nose comes from the hornbill. Both these birds are thought to possess magical powers. The designs on this Bwa Mask, which is used to celebrate boys' initiation into adulthood, represent information about the myths and morality that the boys must learn before they can be accepted into adult society. A fabulous mask to add your collection.
