This is a mask made of terracotta that is made to look like a man with head wear and markings. It was made in 1999 by the Urabic people of Benin.

This mask was photographed as part of a Madison Historical class visit to Liberty Middle School in spring 2020. It was brought to class by Mathias Moyegun.
