Object description :

"Gurunsi Mask Burkina Faso XX"
Gurunsi crocodile mask from Burkina Faso, inlaid with a black and white checkerboard pattern. 20th century. The Gurunsi people are responsible for the clay dwellings painted with geometric patterns. The term Gurunsi is used as a meta-term to refer to a group of very loosely related peoples. The ethnic groups classified as Gurunsi do not share a common language and have distinct cultural practices. Some of the largest Gurunsi ethnic groups are the Frafra, Nabt, and Talensi in Ghana, and the Ko, Lyele, Nuna, and Sisaala in Burkina Faso. The Kassena and Nankani subgroups inhabit both Ghana and Burkina Faso.
