This handsome mask is worn by Mossi warriors of Burkina Faso for protection. Then, when they return home, they will wear it again during harvest festivals to show the gods their appreciation for keeping them safe. Salihu Ibrahim creates an extraordinary sese wood replica which he carves by hand and decorates with jute, clay, and painted details.
