Typical mask of this ethnos group. The sculptors (blacksmiths) Bambara are indeed very known for their masks cimiers zoomorphes of antelopes or gazelles.

This type of mask is carried by a secret society of which they bear the name: Ti Wara or Tji Wara.

Beautiful old object, some wood glares on the mane and an ear.
