Bovine mask

A scimer mask representing a stylized cow. Interestingly, it carries three horns, ignoring what the central horn can respond to. It's actually a composite mask, the mouth can be that of a dog or any other animal, the ears are hyena. The eyes, leaping, carry on their eyelids fine vertical stripes that represent the scarifications that men make on their eyes. A vertical line divides the face into two shades, the lighter left side is the color of the central horn, the rest of the head presents a darker tone. In the outer center of the mandibles stands a thick and short tusk that contrasts with the fine rows of teeth. It is men who participate in the dance of the Cow, in order to intercede with the ancestors to know if they will have rains and get good harvests. It's a fertility mask.
