This mask features a chimpanzee-like face with very angular details. This mask is characterized by a domed forehead, jutting cheeks, a powerful nose, and a protruding and articulate jaw attached with raffia. This mask is called Kaogle and was traditionally associated with warfare. It was also used for judicial and educational ceremonies. Kaogle mask was also used as a dancing mask that served a number of functions in the Poro secret society. Masks like this are referred to as spirits.
