This 24" h by 8.75" w by 5" D Bozo Bamana African Colorful Bird Mask is beautifully and intricately carved, with vibrant yellow, red, and black colors adorning its surface. While it may show signs of age and use with minor losses, this mask remains an impressive and essential piece of the Sogo ba masquerade tradition in the regions of Segou and Mopti. During this event, young men from local youth groups perform with dance, song, drums, and even puppets and masks, all with the purpose of educating and reminding people of moral values and maintaining social and family stability.
