Description: The Bwandi Bwa Kifwebe Society masks help their leaders wield economic and political power by evoking the aid of supernatural forces.
Songno masks feature rows of grooves on the face of the mask, representing the underground area where the original couple appeared. Masks depict male or female spirits.
Female masks are dominated by white or retain the color of wood; male masks usually contain red.
In particular, kifwebe masks are worn during initiation and funeral ceremonies as well as in secular public performances. Masks are also danced in moon-related rituals to purify the community of evil dangers.

Guro Mask
Guro masks are dancing masks, and their masquerade is well known in West African villages. They serve entertainment and represent social roles. Male dancers don masks and dance competitions are held between neighboring villages.
The dance usually throws 3 characters. The first, known as Gu, was a beautiful young woman with intricately styled hair. The second is Zauri, an old man with a beard. The third number is the Zamble, a type of antelope that may be common in the area.
Human faces are often covered with decorative animal-shaped elements. The intricacy of the carving shows the creativity and skill of the artist. Revered for their elegance and attention to detail, these masks are among the finest in West Africa.
Note that there is a tear at the bottom of the back of the mask to give it more character. The Fumigation/Treatment Wood Certificate will be attached to you as a copy of the receipt.
