Bobo boys and young men were not considered adult until they had been initiated into the worship of Dwo, the Creator God's representative, and learned the secret of masking. They learned about the relationship between Dwo and the Nwenka and other masks that appear on the occasions of harvest rites, male initiation rituals, and funerals. Nwenka embodies the spirit of Dwo and ultimately Wuro's spirit. 

George Washington sat for Charles Wilson Peale on seven occasions over a period of 23 years. This print is based on Peale's first full length portrait of Washington executed in 1779 representing Washington at the Battle of Princeton and was commissioned by the Supreme Executive Committee of Pennsylvania. At the General's feet are the flags of the conquered armies.
