Description

This unique mask depicts rams horns. Ndoma masks portray an honoured person of the village who is celebrated during an elaborate ceremonial dance called Mblo, which is often performed on stilts. These masks represent the Baule people’s idealised vision of beauty, depicted in carefully carved features, elaborate hairstyles, and symbolic scarification.
