This Kpeli-yehe mask blends Senufo mythological elements and recognized symbols. Below the chin, small legs represent the hornbill bird, one of the Senufo's primordial creatures and the first hunted by humans. The heart-shaped face and protruding lips are characteristic of Senufo sculpture. Kepelie masks perform funerals for elder women and men, honoring those who've joined the ancestors. The Senufo, primarily farmers in Ivory Coast and Mali, live in autonomous villages connected by the Poro or Pondo men's secret society, which initiates boys and men and controls society. Women have their divination society, Sando. Among the Senufo, funerals are key occasions for art displays, celebrating the lives of deceased Poro and Sando members.
