Description

African Ibo Igbo mask 13*6″ 0,9 lbs, for your collection or your wall and interior decoration (Blmk10042)
A variety of wooden objects are made by the Igbo people, namely, musical instruments, doors, stools, trays, fertility dolls, small figures used in divination, and masks.
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 with long narrow face, is painted white: narrow protruding sharp nose, slit eyes, closed mouth, small ears and arching eyebrows. This piece would be a wonderful addition to your home and collection.

This piece was handpicked and collected by Blawo.
