African Bwa Mossi Sun Mask

The bobo come from bobo-dioulasso, in the northeast of burkina faso. This sun mask comes from the bobo ethnic group traditionally distributed between burkina faso and mali (west africa). The bobo sun mask is used in protection or purification rites, or during funerals. According to the bobo, it protects the family and the village against evil spirits and promotes marriage and fertility. Did you know although called “solar”, this mask actually represents a nocturnal animal, an owl or an owl. This would explain the bulging eyes and the beak-shaped “nose”. Add an ethnic touch to your interior with this beautiful object of art. Nb: patterns, colors and sizes may be slightly varied. Sizes vary between 55-58 cm.
