English: According to Bobo beliefs, the god Wuro created the world and then appointed his son, Dwo, assist humanity. All Bobo masks serve as a means of contact between human beings and these deities; some represent the deities themselves while others, called bolo masks, depict animals and people. Bolo masks such as this one are usually danced for entertainment. |
