Una peineta centra el tocado de esta bella máscara africana, y el personaje lleva grandes pendientes. Tallada y pintada a mano, la imagen de madera de sese está elaborada por artesanos de Ghana. Salihu Ibrahim. Representa al pueblo Fulani que se ha asentado en Mali. Aunque se cree que tienen orígenes en África occidental, los Fula también están presentes en toda África central y el norte de África sudanesa. "Nosotros, los africanos, tendemos a adoptar ciertas prácticas culturales que creemos que son buenas, y las costumbres también se comparten a través del matrimonio intercultural", explica Ibrahim. "Entre los fulani que habitan en Mali, este tipo de máscaras se regalan a las mujeres como propuesta de matrimonio. Ella responde dándole una máscara de mono Senufo a su pretendiente como señal de aceptación".
