La máscara Kponyugo, a veces conocida como máscara del "escupefuegos", es una máscara ceremonial importante para el pueblo Senufo de Mali, Costa de Marfil y Burkina Faso. Su apariencia feroz pretende provocar incertidumbre y aprensión, y se usa comúnmente durante los rituales funerarios para ahuyentar a los espíritus malévolos. Salihu Ibrahim replica la máscara con extraordinaria atención al detalle. Con cuernos, colmillos puntiagudos, dientes afilados y una melena de rafia, el rostro es temible.

It is beautiful piece of art work. It will fit right in with my collection of African art. Is there a way I can contact the artist? Id like to send him pictures of my collection. It might give him some ideas for future carvings.
