The tall Bobo masks from Gossina, Burkina Faso (West Africa) are impressive ceremonial headpieces used in traditional performances. They are worn by dancers who secure the mask using a hidden internal bar held between the teeth, allowing the structure to extend high above the head. The designs are inspired by animals and are believed to connect the human world with the spiritual and natural world. The crocodile (second image) is especially significant as it symbolises strength and duality, representing an animal that moves between water and land.
