ABOUT TRIBE/MASK
The Mossi masks are primarily found in the northwest section of the Mossi plateau in Burkina Faso. This mask/helmet in particular was carved to be free standing with a circular open base. Much heavier than traditional Mossi plank masks, this  one has exaggerated details such as protruding circular eyes and noticeable eyebrow/teeth interlocking cutouts. The mask/helmet still retains traditional Mossi mask details such the red/black paint found on the crown and horns of the helmet. A rare mask indeed.
IMPERFECTIONS
Please note these are traditional/old masks. Imperfections are to be expected such as dings and minor cracks. We do our best to showcase the mask using as many photos as possible. Mask is in excellent condition.
HOW TO DISPLAY MASK
Most African masks require the use of a "Metal V Display Stand". These are great for holding African masks if your intention is to display this on a table top, window bay etc. These are also sold on eBay and would be best to contact a supplier for more information and assistance.
