Ripley’sThis mask tells a story centuries in the making! The Bwoom mask is one of three types of royal Kuba masks, each believed to embody nature spirits known as mingesh. During traditional performances, these masks help reenact the founding stories of the Kuba Kingdom. Believe It or Not!, according to local legend, the mask represents a prince with a neurological condition that caused his head to swell! #Ripleys #BION #RipleysBelieveItorNot
