Mumuye mask - Nigeria - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Mumuye mask - Nigeria - African Art Tribal Art

Description: The statuary emanating from the northwestern region of the Middle Benue, from the Kona Jukun, to the Mumuye and up to the Wurkun populations is characterized by a relative absence of ornamentation and a refined stylization. The 100,000 Adamawa language speakers form a group called Mumuye and are grouped into villages, dola , divided into two groups: those of fire ( tjokwa ) related to blood and the color red, guardians of the cult vabong , among whom are elected the chiefs, and those of water, ( tjozoza ), related to humidity and the color white. It is among the latter that the priests of the rain are chosen, initiates of the cult vadosong . To be used by both Mumuye groups, the different colors of the same cult object, mask or statue, are applied by each member of the corresponding group.
