Item Details

Description

Liberia, Loma people, early 20th century CE. This hand carved, wooden mask has a simple but effective design that uses very few lines to show a broad forehead, heavy brows, and a thick nose; there is no mouth or defined eyes, but there are three horn-like projections atop its head. This type of mask is a nyangbai mask, created by the Loma people, who live in the high altitude forest on the Guinea/Liberia border. Their political and social life is organized around a powerful men's secret society known as the poro, and masks play an important role in the ritual movements of the society. A miniature one like this was probably for placement on an altar; the brow probably at one time had attached hair, which would have enhanced its sacredness. Size: 3.3" W x 6" H (8.4 cm x 15.2 cm).

Provenance: Ex- Adeon Gallery, Nick Poolos, Chicago, IL acquired before 1970.
