| Description: | .....The mask's rich decoration of cowrie shells, beads, and leopard skin indicates its royal status. White fur, missing on this mask, is attached below the chin of the mask to signify the wisdom that rulers gain from experience. The mask is part of a full body costume, made of blue and white colored beads (blue signfies high rank, white signifies purity), cowrie shells, leopard skins, and feathers of eagles and parrots to display the king's unique wealth and status. The king's dance is slow and stately, as befits a man full of gravity and wisdom. When kings died, the mask was placed on a royal effigy to represent him, and kings where often buried with the mask.
