Description
Suaga Mambila zoomorphic helmet mask, Cameroon, wood, pigment, H.48cmxW.21cm. The Suaga mask has zoomorphic features that are difficult to associate with a specific animal. While the gaping mouth lined with sharp teeth is reminiscent of a dog, the head has two long curved horns. Seen in profile, it shows a broad convex curve that extends from the forehead to the tip of the muzzle.
