Description
Crested mask. Ejagham village, Nigeria, 19th–20th century
Wood and antelope hide. Dimensions: 23 × 16 × 14 cm. A small ritual mask belonging to the sculptural tradition of the Ejagham people, characterised by its compact form and the combination of carved wood with organic elements, such as antelope hide. This type of mask was used in ceremonies and social contexts linked to ritual associations, playing a symbolic role related to identity, status and community spirituality. The simplicity of the design and the patina of use reflect its ceremonial function and its integration into the ritual life of the Ejagham culture. Lot held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
