Medium : wood, dark brown patina, white pigment, the facial plane dyed in reddish brown, carved with regular facial features, framed by a flat zigzag-beard, crowned by a massive pair of horns, slightly dam. (nose, mouth), fine cracks, belonging to the family of the kple-kple masks which perform to honour the buffalo god goli. Four pairs of masks appear, two by two, in a fixed order: first a pair of disc-faced masks (usually called kple kple), next a pair of animal helmet masks goli glen, third a pair of horned face masks kpan pre, and finally two human-faced masks with crested hairdos kpan.
