Bird mask of the Bwaba ethnic group (Burkina Faso and Mali/West Africa) in the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum of Ethnology in Cologne. The Bwaba are known for their masks.
Recently, more and more cultural artefacts have been returned to their original owners (ethnic groups) from ethnographic museums, including those in Cologne.
