Carved by hand with stately symmetry, this mask is representative of Bobo art. Such masks are worn during funeral rites for prominent chiefs and leaders. Repoussé in brass and aluminum adorns the handsome features in a beautiful piece by Kwaku Ofosuhene Apenteng. The Bobos escaped Moshie subjugation and settled around Bobo Dioulasso, west of Burkina Faso. They are renowned for their mask traditions.
