Grebo Spirit mask
The Poro society, which is found in some form throughout the western coast of Africa, is the most important mask-using group.  The sculptor , who creates the masks for the Poro, seeks to create a sense of rhythm by contrasting convex and concave surfaces, a contrast that can be emphasized by color variations and the differing textures of added elements -- bells, medicine bags, animal horns, etc.
