These masks are linked to each step of male initiation process, where they gain full understanding of ancestral teachings and customs. The kpeli-yh mask is worn during harvest as a signature of gratitude to their ancestors and during funerals as a way to take the spirit away from their homes and guide them to the spirit world.This Mask will be a beautiful sculptural decorative piece anywhere in the home. Arrange individually or in sets for a statement styling.
