This exceptional Old Exquisite /Rare Mossi Bat Helmet / Mask from Burkina Faso stands at 19" in height and includes a custom-made black iron stand
Bat 8" h by 18" length by 17" width
square base 6.5" by 6".
Despite minor wear and a restored ear, this mask still showcases its intricate beauty. Its symbolism, rooted in bat's wisdom, encompasses shamanic rituals, rebirth, past life regressions, pollination of new ideas, transitions, grief, vibrational sound, camouflage, invisibility, and the ability to observe the unseen. Acquiring such a finely decorated mask is a rare opportunity and would make a valuable addition to any collection.
