Masque Suaga Due ou Suaga Bor - Mambila - Nigeria / Cameroun
Chez les Mambila, les masques principaux des fêtes Suaga sont appelés les Suaga Due (grands Suaga) et Suaga Bor (Suaga Chien).

Dans certains villages les danseurs se distinguent par des costumes parés de plumes, dans d'autres le terme désigne indifférement les deux types de masque.

Ces derniers possèdent en outre des noms individuels qui dérivent non pas de leur aspect extérieur, mais des moyens magiques qui leur confèrent leur force.

D. Zeitlyn émet ainsi l'hypothèse que l'on emploie pour les Suaga Bor des substances dont la préparation requiert du sang de chien.
