Human features and bongo antelope horns are combined in this Kwele face mask that represents a benevolent forest spirit. It was used by members of Beete, a religious organization dedicated to dealing with crises and countering negative, anti-social behavior, thus ensuring order. Masks were danced during ceremonies and funerary and initiation rites or were hung on the wall of structures built for Beete.
