Geometric designs in red, black, and white adorn the abstract wooden masks, which are produced and performed exclusively by a particular group of families. The Bondé family, who derive from the village of Boni, proudly preserves the tradition of these masks, which were initially created as a tribute to their heroic forefather. A hunter of great skill and short stature who often roamed the forest alone, this ancestor is revered to this day.
