Authentic wooden Mambila zoomorphic mask from Cameroon.
The African mask Mambila Suaga Bor is easily identifiable thanks to its gaping and toothed mouth as well as the pair of horns that cover it. This type of mask zoömorphic is defined as dog-magpie mask. This type of mask embodies a fierce aspect of the forces of nature and is only seen at sowing festivals. In dhe procession he is always accompanied by another mask, this time with a human face that fights the negative forces of the Suaga Bor mask. Powerfull mask in good condition with traces of tribal use.
