Description
Dance mask with rectangular geometric crest Wood, vegetable fibres, natural pigments, marks of use. Afikpo, Nigeria 22 × 9 cm Among the Afikpo, dance masks play a central role in Okumkpa masquerades, ceremonies combining initiation, satire and community memory. The rectangular crest and painted geometric motifs reinforce the mask's symbolic and expressive dimension, combining aesthetics with ritual power. This work illustrates the plastic vigour and spiritual richness of the sculptural traditions of south-east Nigeria.
