| Description |
English: Mask, Nuna peoples, Burkina Faso, Mid-20th century, Wood, pigment, metal
This mask depicts a butterfly, one of a cast of masquerade characters, and represents a bush spirit. Because butterflies signal the coming of rain, they are connected with the start of the farming season. The plank mask's broad, richly patterned wings and the small birds and chameleons inserted into the upper edge are characteristic of Nuna masks. (National Museum of African Art) |
