Description
Suaga Mambila helmet mask, Cameroon, wood, pigments, H x L cm. The Suaga mask has zoomorphic features that are difficult to associate with any specific animal. Whilst the gaping mouth, lined with sharp teeth, is reminiscent of a dog, the head features two long, curved horns. Viewed in profile, it displays a broad convex curve extending from the forehead to the tip of the snout. A sparing application of white paint highlights the pointed ears with triangular crests, the outer ring of the cylindrical eyes and the rows of teeth.
