Full original description
The triangular flint of the face qualifies this mask as a sun mask. This category of masks participates in the festivities of the Goli, one of whose most well-known masks the "kple.kple" refers to the sun with triangles that normally surround it, compared to the rays of the sun. In this case we have a hand mask. Brown patina.
