Item Details

Description

Title: Yoruba EPA Mask

Date/Period: 19th Century

Origin: Nigeria, Africa

Dimension: 9in X 9in X 31in

Materials: Wood

Additional Information: EPA Mask -- Nigeria. Epa mask is a ceremonial mask worn by the Yoruba people of Nigeria during the EPA masquerades. The EPA mask is danced in festivals to celebrate the deeds of heroic ancestral warriors, whose stylized faces are represented at the bottom of this mask. These masquerades, which feature ritualized dances, are celebratory reenactments of ancient battles, part real and part mythical. When not being used during performances, Epa masks are kept in shrines where they are the focus of prayers and offerings from community elders.
