    DescriptionPersonal devotional figure with its head in the form of a men's Bo Nun Amuin mask. Bo Nun Amuin is a powerful spirit creature of the bush controlled by the men of the community. Alternatively, this may be a figure of the monkey-headed god, Mbra. Either way, its owner can carry it when he travels.
