Masque africain zoomorphe en bois de l'ethnie Mossi du Burkina-Faso.

Une partie des masques mossi représentent des animaux sauvages tels que le buffle, l'éléphant, le lion qui sont les plus courants.

Par contre, il est plus rare de voir des animaux domestiques consacrés au rang de masque rituel.

Des masques zoomorphes d'animaux tels que le Bélier, la Chèvre, le Cheval, le Coq, le Chien vont malgré tout apporter une symbolique supplémentaire aux mascarades, mais aussi dans certains cas représenter l'animal qui va être sacrifié.

Le Bélier, symbolise une grande puissance sexuelle et reproductrice.

Livré avec son socle artisanal fabriqué en Côte d'Ivoire.
