Bolo Helmet Mask - Bobo People, Burkina Faso

$4,800.00
We acquired this in Burkina Faso in 1994 in the Solenzo region between the Nuna and Bobo people, (bordering Mali), and are only now making it available.

In addition to masks being made for ritual use, the Bobo carved masks used for entertainment, called Bolo. These masks are worn with fiber costumes and are danced at night, accompanied by songs, drums and whistles.

The head of the horse was re-attached so well, that we never even noticed it!

Height: 27” x Width: 9 1/2” x Depth: 10 3/4”
