Masks are owned by several constituencies within Grassfields kingdoms, but primarily by the regulatory society "kwifoyn" and important lineages.
Kwifoyn and lineage masks perform publicly at the commemorative death celebrations of Fons and title-holders and at the kingdoms annual dance, a high point of celebration during the festive cycle of the dry season.
