MASK BOBO-3

These striking face masks are made by the BWA people of Burkina Faso who are prolific producers of art with a rich masking tradition. BWAs are most recognized for their decorative patterns and repetition of shapes and many of their masks are used in agricultural and fertility rites when sowing crops. These sun-shaped forms usually affirm the power of the sun, moon, and cycles of nature. Yet the Bwa associate some of the compositional elements with certain birds. The eyes set off by concentric circles, for instance, are intended to recall an owl. Hung on a wall or displayed on a stand, they are a unique decorator feature in any home.
