    Bambara Wooden Komo Society Mask
    This imposing buffalo )mask was mask  made by the Bambara/Bamana mask  people of Mali, and was an attribute of one of their secret societies. It is a very accomplished mask , with a large, mask  rounded head running into an elongated snout mask , and framed with incurved mask horns and diagonally- projecting ears. The surface detailing is intriguing, with a central roundel on the forehead narrowing at the apex of the nose then widening towards the snout (where it is bifurcated), lending a more three-dimensional look to the piece. The eyes are small squares tucked into either side of the constriction. The mouth is agape. The surface is smoothed and quite glossy with usage, which is unusual for these pieces, which are usually matt and decorated with organic materials (see below).

They gave rise to the Bozo, who founded Djenne in an area subsequently overrun by the Soninke Mande (
