Description:

|
The most important mask among the Nafara, a southern Senufo group, is the kagba, worn with a costume consisting of a tent like structure of reeds and covered with ornamentally painted mats of blankets and danced by a single performer. The mask is a carved head with various animal features; long antelope horns, a gaping mouth studded with teeth, and backward-curving tusks. Older examples of the kagba, made in the 1950's prior to the iconoclastic ravages of the Massa religious movement, are marked by a strikingly simple composition. More recent versions, in contrast, show great elaboration, being ornamented with figurative and symbolic elements and brightly painted.
