Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: A Bwa Or Nunuma Facemask

Beschreibung : Bwa or Nunuma, Burkina Faso, H. 25Of typical form, presenting bold geometric incised motifs with remains of red, white, and black pigmentation.Comments: Embodying bush spirits, Bwa and Nunuma masquerades invoke the natural forces on which life depends and frequently represent them in the form of animals, reptiles, birds and insects. The masks are painted in various geometric patterns and signify order on the cosmic as well as political, economic, and religious level. The shape of the horns on this mask would imply those of the buffalo (Sincerest coffer) a beast seen only at dawn or dusk and associated symbolically with chiefs and culture heroes throughout much of Africa.
