Description

This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

Coming from an old German collection in the 1950s, this "lunar" Kplé kplé mask is distinguished by its face surrounded by a crenellated border, its protruding eyes, and its rectangular mouth revealing regular teeth. Small ears adorn its horns, reflecting a warning posture. The harmony of the black and red hues reinforces the object's expressive intensity.

The "lunar" Kplé kplé mask is a modern representation of the widespread Goli festival masks. It is an allegory of the solar buffalo, an animal sacred to the great cosmic deity Niamé.
