Wall Decoration "Masque Solaire" From Burkina Faso Ø 45 Cm Different Colors

Description

This sun mask from Burkina Faso is worn in front of the face, held by a large rope that the dancer holds between his teeth to celebrate the harvest and or to honor well-known personalities at their funeral. Typical of African art, it represents the sun. It is decorated with engravings of two-tone triangular geometric motifs. It protects the village from evil spirits, promotes the marriage of young people and brings health to newborn babies. Its main function is to wipe out evil and restore the God-given balance between the sun, earth and rain.
