Description
wood, paint,
The mask is said to combine antelope and crocodile features. It is distinguished from other “goli” masks by the playing of the “tre” horn during the dance. “Glen” wears a large antelope skin on its back and a fresh green palm-fiber cape, which takes several men a couple of hours to prepare and is very heavy to wear. He does a rapid, vigorous stamping dance that is rather wild-looking but never uncontrolled.
