It is in the central Northern area of the Mossi country that these types of convex masks, with a prominent central ridge, are carved.
Mossi masks, which are both personal or lineage-based, are the incarnation of ministering spirits offering their support.
They are encountered at burials, the funerals of clan leaders, and protect crops.
