Mossi style mask
Burkina Faso
Wood
Height : 85,5 cm
Mask with a very simple shape: two triangular openings signifying the eyes, separated by a crenellated median line. Small ears and curved horns give the mask a zoomorphic aesthetic. The perimeter of the mask is decorated with a black and white checkerboard pattern and incised friezes. The mask is surmounted by a statue with feminine attributes. It is built around angular lines: semi-bent arms and legs forming an angle and round breasts. The face is composed of a large stretched nose and a
protruding cylindrical mouth.
