Bwa Sun Mask from Burkina Faso

Large sun mask of the bobo ethnic group, in northeastern burkina faso. Although said "solar", this mask would rather represent an owl or an owl. According to the bobo, its function is to restore the god-given balance between the sun, earth and rain. It is a protective mask for the family. Round, this bwa mask is decorated with two-tone triangular engravings and geometric patterns. Very positive with good vibes, it brings a touch of contemporary ethnic originality!.
