The tji wara society members use a headdress represented in the form of an antelope, the mythical being who taught men how to farm. Their traditions include six male societies, each with its own type of mask. Oftentimes, there are antelopes with vertical or horizontal carved direction on the horns in their art. Initially the ntomo was a society for uncircumcised boys. The Bambara trust that the ancestral spirits may take on the forms of animals or even vegetables. In ceremonies the spirits are presented with offerings of flour and water (Part of a Private Collection from the Tillman Estate)17x13x5-inches
