Like many masks of this region, the influences of surrounding cultures is apparent; in this case shades of Bwa and Gurusi styles. The crocodile’s body is covered with scales in a chequerboard like pattern, representing the separation between knowledge and innocence. Crocodile masks are danced in pairs with fluid, undulating motions.
