Sun mask from Africa 

Especially in agricultural areas from Burkina Faso, the sun masks are used in rituals to obtain good harvests, ward off evil spirits and obtain protection. The masks are hand carved from one piece of wood and then hand painted. Although these masks are popularly called sun masks, they actually represent an owl.
