Julien Gauthier

The “Pwo” (woman) or “Mwana Pwo” (young woman) mask symbolises the feminine ancestor and appears in fertility dances.
Worn by a man who mimics the way women dance and teaches them the grace of good manners.
The “Pwo” mask representing the feminine ancestor, is always worn by men; it turns them into powerful beings.
