Wisdom Mask
WISDOM MASK
OTHALEFILE
(OTHLAFILE is the Sotho word for wisdom beyond book learning).
The geometric design on the mask recalls Mossi (Volta) design.
A training college for adult education in Southern Matabeleland (Zimbabwe) has an owl as its crest. This is one of the rare occasions where and Afro/Euro symbol is shared. Owl Eyes, then, is a mask for Wisdom.
