Bwa wooden African art, represent a number of characters in the myths of their families and clans. African art, represent numerous animals including the antelope, bush buffalo, monkey, and bush pig. Water-dwellers include the crocodile, and fish of several types. The serpent, and insects including the butterfly appear, as do birds including hawks and vultures. Several human characters appear, including the leper, and the crazy man and his wife. Other African art, represent bush spirits that take supernatural forms. The bird masks and butterflies are the most abstract, consisting of a broad, horizontal plank, decorated with large concentric patterns. The mouth projects from the center and there is a large hook representing the hawk's beak or circles representing the patterns on the butterfly's wings. The butterfly African art, are decorated with concentric circles, while the hawk African art, has a plain white surface. Butterfly African art, , called yehoti in Boni, have eight enormous target patterns spread across their wings. In Pâ, just east of Boni, the elders of the Lamien clan (especially Lamien Nikiebé, African art, chief) named the following African art, that participated in a harvest festival on March 21, 1984: the hyena is inaburu, bird-icayn, serpent-honu (doho in Boni), monkey-haru, buffalo-lalo, "koba" antelope-kâ, plank with many hooks-bayiri, fish-basi, and plank-kano. The butterfly African art, had broad wings covered with eight enormous target patterns to represent the colored markings on the butterflies' wings. The hawk African art, has plain white wings, without decoration. The hawk African art, ' performance consists of rapidly rotating the African art, vertically around the performer's face, first clockwise, then counterclockwise. The butterfly, which is much larger and heavier, simply rotates rapidly in place horizontally. Butterflies are symbols of new life brought by moisture in the spring, for they hatch and cluster around pools left by the first rains of the year.
