Senufo bird

I found the contrast between the smoke-stained color of the main part and the neutral painted designs of the bird quite striking. This Senufo mask has different stylistic features than Bambara masks, including slanted slit eyes (as opposed to rather small, rounded eyes in Bambara masks) and a very narrow nose.
