Item Details
Description
wood, colour pigments,

Together with "gu" (his beautiful wife) and "zauli" (his wild grotesque brother), "zamble" forms a sequence of three sacred masks. They are considered helper or tutelary spirits for the whole village where they are settled and regularly received offerings.

Zamble" has to perform when someone important from the clan had died, or if an affair of the village or an important family has to be given particular emphasis.
