days, this type of mask presided over the ceremony held when peace was
restored after armed conflicts and it participated in sessions of
customary justice. This type of mask was also worn to prepare men for
war; the masks offered magical protection by instilling fear and terror
in potential enemies. Nowadays, it is worn for a variety of ceremonies,
including entertainment dances.
