There are many kinds of primitive religions in Guinea, different forms and rich local features. Believers generally worship their ancestors and natural gods. Chiefs and rulers of countries are regarded as the messengers and incarnations of their ancestors. Nimba is the primitive totem of all ethnic groups in this country. In this article, there is basic introduction to the audience the general knowledge of Nimba mask, but not that elaborate. So, I collected more resources about Nimba mask an will do some edition to this part of content.
