Publiziert:
David Jean (2004). White. Zürich: Galerie Walu. Seite 47.

Die Brettmaske aus dem do-Kult stellt ein Mischwesen aus der Kombination von Schmetterling, Vogel und Fledermaus dar. Sie galt als Sitz der übernatürlichen Kräfte, welche für den Klan tätig waren. Die Schmuckmotive auf der Maske sind Symbole, die mit der Gottheit Do und den Ursprungsmythen des Klans zusammenhängen. Getanzt wurde sie für Fruchtbarkeit, gute Ernte und bei Begräbnissen.
