Item Details

Description

A very large carved wooden mask with a heavy organic material covering the surface. Bamana masks such as this one are worn and seen only by members of the Komo association, whose members harness the power (nyama) contained in the mask to aid members of the community. Powerful materials--including blood, chewed kola nuts, and millet beer--are applied to the mask, while prayers and sacrifices are offered. The open mouth symbolize the Komo\'s power to punish those who violate its rules. The mask measures 41 x 10.5 inches and will have a 12 lb shipping weight. A metal display stand is not included, it is too large for any stands that we offer and was only propped up on one for the photos.
