Bronze pendants and statues are crafted by the Bobo, but it is their masks that truly encompass the essence of their beliefs. The masks are representative of animals or spirits and are of great importance during ceremonies concerning new crops, initiations, and funerals. To the Bobo, the mask holds sacred properties because they believe that the divinity is embodied within it, allowing it to act as a conduit. As the wearer dons the mask, they relinquish their self-identity to the mask, allowing it to take control. By giving up their individuality, the wearer truly becomes the mask.
