BAGA CONGOLESE CEREMONIAL HELMET MASK
Height 26 inches, width 13 inches. Several old repairs to horns and the crown of the head.

An extremely interesting mask with three curved horns on top, depicting strength, stamina, endurance and operating force of the three bodies of God. This mask is very similar to the Baluba helmet mask in the Tervuren museum in Belgium.
