Bobo tribe Butterfly Mask from Burkina Faso-46.7/15 CM
Bwa mask masquerades draw upon the stylized features of humans, animals, and even insects. This mask is called duho, which means hawk mask (or sometimes duba, meaning vulture). The wings mask of the primarily two-dimensional hawk mask are usually simply decorated with white paint. The face mask of the hawk mask has been reduced to basic geometric forms. An inverted triangle defines the "face" and contains a protuberant, conical mouth and two sets of concentric circles for eyes. The outwardly projecting beak and the hook at the top of the face are two of the few elements that serve as a contrast to the overall planar nature of this nature spirit representation. Bold geometric shapes repeated in brightly painted designs are often added to enliven the surfaces of these relatively abstract forms. Bwa nature spirit mask are particularly impressive due to their commanding size and shape.
