Bamileke mask - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Bamileke mask - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: Cameroon

Dimension: 15,75 Inch

Materials: wood, pearls

Weight: 0,99 Pounds

Item type: masks

Provenance: Among the Bamiléké as in other ethnic groups, works of art bear witness to the place of their owner in society. Thus, the materials and shapes of objects varied according to social status. King Bamileke, also called fon, guarantor of the fertility of the soil and the protection of his subjects, was not considered mortal. As such, his funeral was a joyful celebration, the fon merely physically retiring but still watching over his people from his new home. Located in the border region of Nigeria, the North West province of Cameroon, the Grassland is made up of several ethnic groups: Tikar, Anyang, Widekum, Chamba, Bamoun and Bamileke .
