Summary

Description
English: Ban of the Bori, between pages 240 & 241

Musicians (including one as Bu-Sadya, the bogie that appears at masquerades). Far left Guembri, others have w:krakebs.

"Masquerades now take place, though these are mainly performed by Arabs, the only one in which the Hausas have any part being the Bu Sadiya, in which a man dresses up in a mask ornamented with birds' feathers (to represent the head of an eagle), puts vulture wings upon his shoulders and wears a coat of pieces of various skins — e.g. jackal, fox, hyena, and, if possible, leopard and lion (see 111. 27)"
