EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Mask with Horns, belonging to the Mossi Society in Burkina Faso. Crafted from painted wood, this ceremonial object stands at an impressive height of 64 cm. The intricate geometric patterns and skillful carving highlight the artistic prowess of the African School that created it. The mask holds great significance within the Mossi society, symbolizing tribal identity and serving as a ritual object during important ceremonies and parties. Its prominent horns add an element of power and mystique to its overall appearance. Located in West Africa, Burkina Faso was formerly known as Upper Volta. The region's rich cultural heritage is reflected in this exquisite piece of artistry. The vibrant colors used in the painting further enhance its visual appeal. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been beautifully captured by Heini Schneebeli, allowing us to appreciate every detail of this remarkable artifact.
