Item Details

Description

African Ekoi Ritual Hide-Covered Headpiece. Measures 15 inches high. The Ekoi people are an ethnic group in southeastern Nigeria and externding eastward into Cameroon. Ekoi headdresses, including this one, are affixed to basketry caps worn on the head. These headdresses were traditionally worn for both joyous festivities and important ceremonial occasions. When a high-ranking member of society passed away, the Ekoi would hold an elaborate commemorative funeral. During such events, a skilled dancer dressed in a full-length gown would wear the headdress as a symbol of honor and respect.The base of this headdress is made of basketry, while the wood is covered with animal skin and adorned with real hair. Provenance: Ex-Bouck Estate (NYC)
