Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: 20Th C. African Ogoni Wood Mask - Big Smile



Beschreibung : Nigeria, Ogoni, ca. early 20th century CE. This is a handcarved wooden mask whose immediately noticeable feature is its wide, toothy smile. Small, close-set eyes, a large nose, and raised eyebrows complete the face, which appears to be joyous. Atop its head is a fairly elaborate hairstyle that may be recalling a woman on her wedding day. The Ogoni people, living in the fertile land east of the Niger River Delta, have a long history of masquerading, despite the efforts of Christian missionaries to stop this activity. Masks are used in a wide variety of situations -- entertainment, participation in rituals, and attending social events like funerals.
