PRIMITIVE BAMILEKE NKOH PRIESTS MASK, AFRICAN ART

Item Details

Description

A rare old wooden mask from the Bamileke peoples, Cameroon, Africa. Carved wood, with heavy erosion and decay, well weathered and worn edges. This is a rare mask, and considered one of the most dangerous and ferocious of all Bamileke masks. Only danced on occasion of big festivities. During the performance the mask was fixed by ropes and sprinkled with water in order to calm its aggressiveness. "Kungan" is a kind of religious society, led by nine priests, responsible for healing and truth telling. The mask measures 12.5 x 8 inches. A long tattered textile hangs down. A durable display stand can also be included for an additional $35.00
