📝Such plank masks are among the largest masks in Africa. The form of the Bedu mask represents a mythical buffalo-like animal that plays an important role in the New Years celebration in the Bondoukou regions of north-west of Ghana and the north-east of Côte dIvoire. Bedu masquerade is the focus of the month-long New Years celebrations, the winter solstice festival called Zaurau, where a pair of dancers perform with masks, one male and the other female. The gender of a mask is readily identified: male masks often have horns while female masks incorporate a large disk. Following this, then it can be seen that the mask here represents a female animal.
