Item Details
Description
A Tall carved wooden helmet mask with white kaolin clay pigment and black painted accented, with remains of colorful costume still attached. Agbogho mmwo, or "maiden spirit," masks are worn by men at festivals that honor important deities. They represent the Igbo ideal of female beauty: small, balanced features, elaborate hairstyles, and delicate tattoos. The men who dance agbogho mmwo masks wear colorful, tight-fitting fiber costumes, entertaining the crowd with exaggerated versions of women's dances. This mask measures 18 x 8 inches. A metal display stand can be included for an additional $35.00.
Condition
fair, well weathered, remains of textile costume.
