Large African HAWK mask of the BWA tribe. Characteristic of this mask is the conical mouth, the circles at the eyes and the protruding round bill at the top of the face.
The wings are usually, as here, set with coloring in triangular shapes.

Because of its shape, the mask is called HAWK (hawk).

Such masks were used on the one hand in fertility dances and on the other hand at funerals.

The mask is in very good condition.
