Additionally, the gentle curving horns of the ‘bata’ mask are understood to be a metaphor for the cosmic unification of those two realms. In Kwele villages rituals known as ‘beete’ are enacted at times of crisis in order to mobilize the powers of the ancestors.’ (Info from The Metropolitan Museum Of Art). 7
