Los círculos en forma de diana en la cara identifican a esta etérea criatura alada como una mariposa. Deslizándose sobre suaves alas, la máscara representa un espíritu de la naturaleza entre la tribu Bwa de Burkina Faso. El motivo en zigzag significa el camino ancestral que cada Bwa debe seguir para dominar la vida. Salihu Ibrahim talla la elegante imagen en madera de sese africana.

A new favorite”

My husband really likes this new acquisition to his collection. We think it would be better to call the piece the Owl mask because it looks more like an owl than a butterfly but it is a good representation of a womens mask.
