Product description

Mask of the Bwa or Bobo ethnic group from Burkina Faso used in celebrations and ceremonies. Its circular shape and repetitive checkerboard geometry give it tremendous power of visual seduction. Many believe that it is a representation of the sun, although it is actually an owl. The Bwa ethnic group, related to the Dogon peoples, has suffered the attack and subjugation of the Bamana, the Fulani and colonial France. They believe that the world was created by a god named Difini who sent his son Haga as an intermediary between people and spirits. The cult of Haga is an important element of cultural cohesion whose religious leadership is held by the oldest male member of the clan that occupied the land on which the village was built. acacia wood
