 * 1) On the picture above I can see a brown mask. The mask looks really old and it has 2 small slits for the eyes. The mask is longer than a normal face normally is. It has brown "hair" on it. The "hair" is curly on the end of both sides. It has one curl on top of the head.
 * 2) The masks of the African Culture is used for dances and ceremonies. The mask's were used since the culture began until nowadays. Which makes the mask a piece of art for the Bambara Culture. The picture on top is just an example of one mask. There are many more in the Bambara Culture than just one and all of them look different.
 * 3) Most Bambaras see the mask as the mediators between the living world and the natural world of the dead, and also as the ancestors and other enities. Masks became and still became the cachet of dancers on ceremonies. That then means that Bambara's now a day would wear them too ceremonies and to special dances. Or both at the same time.
