Senufo Tribe Bronze Brass Mask – These masks are more than art they are sacred objects that hold cultural and spiritual importance for the Senufo people who live mainly in Ivory Coast. These masks are used in rituals, especially by the Poro society, a male initiation group that plays a key role in Senufo culture. The bird often represents wisdom, spiritual guidance and a connection to the ancestors. It's believed to carry messages between the spirit world and the living.
About the Tribe
Senufo also spelled Senoufo, a group of closely related peoples residing primarily in the savannah regions in the Northern part of the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). They are also found in South-Eastern Mali and in Burkina Faso. They speak at least four distinct languages (Palaka, Dyimini, and Senari in Côte d’Ivoire and Suppire in Mali), which belong to the Gur branch of the Niger-Congo language family. Within each group, numerous subdivisions use their own names for the people and language; the name Senufo is of external origin.
