Masks are symbols with complex functions. Some represent the spirit of animals, others depict aspects of the spirit realm. Many represent the spirits of ancestors. Masks can be used to tell of secret societies, of rituals and knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Many West African masks are a symbol of prestige and of forces beyond the understanding of everyday life. Some are used in initiation ceremonies to mark the passing from youth into adulthood. Others bestow fertility, either to crops or hopeful parents. Most mark identify; a sense of belonging to a clan, tribe or extended family.
