Descrizione : Tall African Bwa, Burkina Faso polychrome and carved wood 'Nwantantay' plank mask. Size 43 x 10 x 7 inches. The imagery found in masks of the Bobo, Bwa, Kurumba, Mossi, and others living in Burkina Faso commonly combine the stylized features of humans, animals, and even insects. Bold geometric shapes repeated in brightly painted designs enliven the surfaces of these relatively abstract forms. When used in performances the masks embody nature or ancestor spirits that interact with human beings and influence their lives. They appear at important funerals to honor the dead and escort the deceased's soul to the world beyond. They also dance at agricultural festivities to ensure the proper progression of the seasons, and at initiation rituals to help introduce young men and women to the secrets and responsibilities of adulthood. Estimated more than 50 yrs old. (Photos Represent The Lot Condition. Read T&C's)
