The Loma people, sometimes called Loghoma, Looma, Lorma or Toma, are a West African ethnic group living primarily in mountainous, sparsely populated regions near the border between Guinea and Liberia.

[7] The Loma people are notable for their large wooden masks that merge syncretic animal and human motifs.

The largest masks are about six feet high, contain feather decorations and believed by Loma to have forest spirits.

They are exogamous people, with patrilineal social organization in matters related to inheritance, succession and lineage affiliations with one-marriage rule.

[9] The Loma people are also referred to as Buzi, Buzzi, Logoma, Toale, Toali, Toa, or Tooma.
