    Description

    African Woman Pregnancy Mask Authentic Masai Tribe.
    This buddy mask is used as part of a ritual for when young men turn 12 or 13 and go on a lion hunt and the boys who are a year younger than them wear this to tease them when they come back from their hunt because now they have to get married and it is part of a ritual and dance associated with manhood and matrimony.
