Bijagos bull mask
Bijogós Brute Cow Mask (Bijagó archipelago, Guinea Bissau)
The colorful Bidjogó masks from the island of Orango have a clear initiatory purpose and present shapes of swordfish, shark, hippopotamus or bull heads. With the mask known as Vaca Bruta or Dugn'be, the boy who intends to be part of the world of adults will receive all the strength and vigor of the bull, allowing him to hide his identity.
The Dugn'be that we have at Black Market has been carved from wood and finished with cotton cords, bark and bovid horns.
