About the Bobo Sun Mask

This traditional Bobo Sun Mask, also known as the Wanzega Mask, originates from the Bobo people of Burkina Faso. Used during the annual Bwa ceremony, it symbolises the sun’s energy and serves as a spiritual conduit.

Carved in a circular form representing the sun, its intricate patterns depict sun rays and ancestral spirits. During ceremonies, male performers don the mask in ritual dances, channeling its power for healing, wisdom, and spiritual renewal. A striking piece of African heritage, this mask embodies the Bobo people's deep connection to nature and the divine.
