Wood mask, 'Spirit that Flies' Home Decor Masks African Masks: Ivory Coast Mali 
A checkerboard
pattern tops this intriguing carving by Salihu Ibrahim. Shaped like
a chirping bird, it features a single horn. The design
comes from the Bwa tribe of Cte d'Ivoire, and these
"flying spirits" are portrayed with geometric shapes as they have
no physical form. They bless the families that own the
mask and dance with it in public.
