Masks represent numerous animals including the antelope, bush buffalo, monkey, and bush pig. Water-dwellers include the crocodile, and fish of several types. The serpent, and insects including the butterfly appear, as do birds including hawks and vultures. Several human characters appear, including the leper, and the crazy man and his wife. Other masks represent bush spirits that take supernatural forms. [. . .] The bird masks and butterfly masks are the most abstract, consisting of a broad, horizontal plank, decorated with large concentric patterns. The mouth projects from the center and there is a large hook representing the hawk's beak or circles representing the patterns on the butterfly's wings.' (Roy, Christopher, Art of the Upper Volta Rivers, Alain et Francois Chaffin, Paris, 1987, pp.270-73) Cf. Ibid. figs. 226-228
