Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $100**

West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba peoples, ca. early 20th century CE. A dark wooden headdress with a zoomorphic face over a round base drilled through to attach it to something to be worn. Heavy lidded eyes, a stubby nose, and large ears give the figure a rodent-like appearance. This type of headdress, the Egungun, is meant to embody the force of the ancestors and is worn during a joyful ceremony celebrating the dead. Size: 7" W x 4.2" H (17.8 cm x 10.7 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Chicago, IL, acquired prior to 1970.
