The Marka are a Mande people found in western Burkina Faso and northwest Mali. They are well known for their puppets and masks. They use masks in fishing and farming ceremonies to ensure successful hunt and productive harvest. These masks vary in size and have elongated features, a long nose, a protruding mouth, eyes shadowed by a domed shape forehead, decorated with red fiber tassels on the ears and the head each coated with brass in geometric patterns.
