Description
wood,
Crowned by a seated male figure flanked by carved horns filled with magical power.
Probably attributable to the “kponyugo” (“head of the poro”) type of mask, which always combines features of different animals with the intention of creating the most frightening appearance possible. The large mouth, armed with strong teeth, is intended to reinforce this impression.
