Sus rasgos son elegantes y serenos, su peinado recargado. Esta máscara se usa durante los rituales en Sierra Leona. Bundu, a veces conocida como Sande, es el nombre de la poderosa sociedad femenina del pueblo Mende, uno de los dos grupos étnicos más grandes de la actual Sierra Leona. En preparación para el matrimonio y la maternidad, las jóvenes que comenzaban la pubertad eran separadas de sus familias y llevadas a un complejo para que se les enseñaran los modales y costumbres que necesitarían cuando fueran adultas. La máscara Bundu debía ser usada por una mujer adulta que les enseñara. Sinclair Yao Daley esculpe hábilmente esta exquisita máscara de madera de sesé y termina su elegante superficie con tinte natural de nuez de cola.

Bundu woman”

After visiting Sierra Leone and dancing with the Bundu women group, I fell in love. This is a great and authentic carving, one of very few offered from Sierra Leone.
