最高与至高的班马拉入会仪式社团，Kòré，被认为是知识的巅峰，行动的智慧，以及对上帝的真正认识。在这种入门理解的层次，亵渎和讽刺具有精神净化的价值。戴面具者是真正的圣洁小丑。为了行使他的「祭司职分」，Kòré Duga 戴着 Kòré Suruku 面具，该面具代表一个神话中的鬣狗头，其特征被极度夸张：前额极度鼓胀、耳朵又大又直且尖、鼻子又长又高、眼睛大、口张开。这些面具的不同部分分别象征 Kòré Duga 的超自然智慧、他的不懈警觉、他的活力、对事物的准确洞察，以及他在知识获取领域的公认的贪婪，以及他话语的丰富。面具在额头全宽处和眼下有小的竖向刻痕（刀刻痕），耳根到口部的两侧各有三条长的缝隙。从耳根到嘴里沿基部有三条。额头中央，用一条长轴棍支撑着一个精心雕刻的女性形象，其高度超过耳朵。耳朵内侧、刻痕和眼睛处有蓝色痕迹。

The supreme and ultimate Bambara initiation society, the Kòré is considered the pinnacle of knowledge, the intelligence of deeds, and true knowledge of God. At this level of initiatory understanding, blasphemy and satire have spiritual cathartic value. The wearer of the mask is a true sacred jester. To exercise his “priesthood,” the Kòré Duga wears the Kòré Suruku mask, which represents the head of a mythical hyena whose features are grossly exaggerated: an exaggeratedly bulging forehead, large straight and pointed ears, a very long and high nose, large eyes, and an open mouth. These different parts of the mask symbolize, respectively, the supernatural intelligence of the Kòré Duga, his constant vigilance, his vitality, his accurate vision of things, and finally his proverbial gluttony in the domain of knowledge acquisition, as well as the abundance of his speech. The mask has small vertical slits (scarifications) across the entire width of the forehead and below the eyes, and three long slits along each side, from the base of the ears to the mouth. In the center of the forehead, on a long stem, there is a delicately sculpted figure of a woman, with a height that exceeds that of the ears. There are traces of blue coloring inside the ears, the scarifications and the eyes.
