Full original description
Related to the senufo, they have such a similar style that they often confuse both creations. Most masks in both groups retain the same signs. Their eyes arched more than those of the senufo are semi-closed and often use blue pigmentation.
This mask wears a creek between the two horns, but lacks the lateral fins and the legs, typical signs of the senufo. In its place is a scratched zenife and face more markedly human than in the senufo masks.
