A Yoruba mask was a cultural African art form.
Benjamin Sisko owned Yoruba masks, one of which was two thousand years old. He put the masks and other African art he had collected into storage until he used the opportunity during visit to Earth to bring the artwork to Deep Space 9. (DS9 episode: "The Search, Part I")
Odo once apprehended a thief who had stolen Sisko's African masks. (DS9 novel: The Laertian Gamble)
In a message that Captain Sisko sent to Jake in 2376, he asked that Jake inherit the Yoruba mask. (DS9 novel: The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko)
