Dance mask
with a serene expression.
Brown-patinated wood, old signs of internal wear, raffia.
Ibibio, Nigeria.

Settled in south-eastern Nigeria, the Ibibio people accord a central place to masked dances in their social and ritual practices. This mask, designed as an idealised youthful portrait, is distinguished by a serene and balanced expression. It reflects an aesthetic approach based on restraint and harmony of form, characteristic of such representations.
