Mask stylized representing a head of woman with horns of buffalo.

One finds here all the graphic beauty of the Mama style. The lines soft and are purified, very visually impacting. Symbolically, the horns meet thus forming a circle, and marking the achievement of a renouvellé cycle. The horns are symbol of fertility in the Mama ethnos group, this one can be indifferently associated with the fertility with the ground or that with the women and wives.

This type of sculptor is generally employed by a group of men, within the Mama village, who have like social contribution, the development of the village or the agricultural production of this one.

They are thus the guards of the prosperity of the village.

The mask is carved in a dense wood.
