Item Details

Description

Title: Yaka Mask

Date/Period: 19th Century

Origin: DRC, Africa

Dimension: 9in X 11in X 18in

Materials: Wood, Raffia

Additional Information: Yaka Male Initiation Mask. The Yaka Initiation Mask is used in an important event in the Yaka ceremonial cycle to initiate young boys into adulthood. To mark the end of the educational period, festivities are held in which the initiates perform with newly carved masks. Additionally, it showcases the most startling masks and the most spectacular dances. Initiation mukhanda, which includes circumcision, is a crucial part of Yaka life. Circumcision and initiation, mandatory for all young men, are organized in a remote place. The rituals are organized by the main secret societies in Yaka culture. The masks are carved for initiation and are used only once. The carver (muumbwa) repairs and carves new masks for circumcisions which are danced in pairs or groups, except the mask worn by the tutor's leader who dances alone.
