Named by the artisan after the Yoruba word for 'brave warrior,' this colorful mask is hand carved by Abdul Aziz Mohamadu from local rubberwood and painted in shades of blue, yellow, red, and black. Carved and painted motifs consisting of repeating lines and dots draw the eye and accentuate the long shape of the mask.
