Item Details

Description

A carved wooden helmet style mask with classic facial features including a pig like snout, semi circular coiffure like design and black and white triangular motifs. The word giphogo (or kipoko) means â€œsword wielder” and is a symbol of power among the Eastern Pende. The mask is kept in the chiefâ€™s home, and only chiefs are allowed to authorize dance with this type of mask on the occasion of initiations and rituals of the ancestor cult of the Eastern Pende. As he dances, the kipoko dancer makes semicircular kicks to protect the village against evil spirits or sorcerers and to purify their illnesses. This mask mask shows wear and field use and measures 12 x 11 inches. A metal display stand can also be included for an additional $50.00. Provenance: The Prof. Gould collection, New York.
