African elephant mask from the Bamileke, Cameroon. The usage of elephant masks (worn horizontally on the head) is considered a special privilege, since the elephant, like the leopard, is a royal animal. These masks appear in festive ceremonies and are worn by members of the elephant society that is close to the king. Hand carved from a single piece of wood, with colored glass beads.
