This mask is used in initiation ceremonies and rituals that help to maintain social order in the community with its functions, meaning and values of a single object which is common in Africa. Some of these functions can be symbolized by the selection of certain animal features. This mask has depictions on this helmet mask of spiked crocodile teeth, the snout of a hyena or crocodile, warthog tusks sticking out of the mouth, and ram or buffalo horns flanking the nose, which are all animal attributes associated with strength and aggressiveness.
