This stamp is one of a set of eight celebrating traditional masks of African peoples, none of which strangely is found in Liberia. This stamp depicts a masquerader of the Bamileke people of Cameroon. This mask is used by the Kuosi Society, attendants to the chief (fon), and represents the much respected elephant.
