Mask representing an hawk, coming from
the Mossi ethnos group.
At the time of their exits, these masks recall to the community
the history of each family. Their political power and religious is thus
reaffirmed in a spectacular way at the time of the ceremonies.
The owner of a mask can, if it wishes it, sell it to be
able to buy another mask with the greatest capacity.
Beautiful patina, geometrical patterns, white
and red (kaolin and pigments) heavy Wood, delivered without base.
