This is the rating and price for Bwa Nwantantay Plank Mask

Description : TRIBAL AFRICAN ART BWA NWANTANTAY PLANK MASK. Burkina Faso. Among the southern Bwa peoples in Burkina Faso, large wooden plank masks are carved to represent various flying spirits that inhabit the natural world. These spirits, though largely invisible, are associated with water and can take physical form as insects that gather around a pool after a heavy rain or as a large water fowl, like an ibis. Some Bwa describe a mythological encounter in which a flying spirit appeared before a human, offering protection and service. A tall plank mask was created after this encounter to honor the spirit and ensure its continued beneficence. 46.5cm x 24cm
