Rare and atypical MOSSI polychrome mask from Burkina Faso (17.5). This figurative mask in red and black polychrome carved wood, depicts a face with the scarring identifying Burkina Faso, formerly Upper Volta. These ethnic facial scars are distinctive signs of belonging to a clan, group or ethnic group, and were also used for protection!
Beautiful shiny patina of dark red on the face and black on the headdress and chin! Traces of wear and rubbing. Sold plinth-mounted (total height with plinth 26cm).
