The Bwa people carved the mask into a horizontal shape, symbolizing the falcon. The falcon mask has a pure white surface and the panels are decorated with geometric patterns, an essential design element found in many African masks and carvings. Geometric patterns create an external rhythm that reflects the artwork’s inner spiritual energy. It can also be used as a coding language, designed to impart secret knowledge to initiates. The graphics on this Bwa mask celebrate a boy's transition into adulthood. This would make a great gift or addition to your personal collection.
