............."Sit with the spine straight, in stillness. Hold the mask in your hands and look at it. Observe the texture and other de tails. It's part of your skin that you have peeled. It's a replica of your physical face. Think no thoughts other than about the mask. Look at the shape of the features. Do not judge, just look. Look at the eyes. They appear as two holes that reach infinity . Become familiar with your face that you hold in your hands.
"This tool, the mask, is a place. It's not a time. Become friends with the mask and it will teach you many things. Your face is looking at you. It is covered, somehow, by different thoughts.
"Very slowly put the mask on your face. Take five million years to do this. No brusque movements. Every movement should be very conscious. With the mask on, keep the eyes closed. Breathe very calmly. Begin to feel your own facial structure under the mask. It is covered, as if by clothes.

| Description: | BY Senka Kovach (Beograd, Jugoslavia)
Abstract: The mask in West Africa is viewed as a sign with three aspects: expression, content and meaning. Expression is the part of the sign realized in some material. Content is the aspect of the sign wich contains the signified concept. Meaning can be defined as a process, as an act relating the signifier to the concept signified. Meaning is shaped in religious practice. The mask as a complex sign plays a significant role in rituals. In religious practice the mask appears as a medium between the world of the living and the ancestors of whom the community expects assistance and protection. The mask has an important religious function in the West-Africa but also a significant social role, as community established closer links during the preparation and conduction of collective rites.
