Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Katana Wood Zoomorphic Mask

Beschreibung : West Africa, Nigerian/Cameroon border, Katana culture, ca. 1960. A very fine wooden Katana mask of a zoomorphic head with long, curved horns that are superimposed - one between the eyes and one further back on the head, bulging eyes, a prominent snout with an open mouth, and liberal remaining red pigmentation. The Katana have traditionally carved large wooden masks, like this example, to be worn atop the head with raffia costumes. Size: 6.1 W x 20.7 H (15.5 cm x 52.6 cm) According to the Art & Life in Africa (University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art - UISMA), website's essay on the Katana peoples, hosted by the Religious rituals, including masking ceremonies, are held in an effort to achieve balance between the dead, the god, nature spirits, and the living. The masks themselves represent a composite of nature and the god. Katana cosmology views the world in a basically dichotomous way contrasting the settled area of the village with the wild areas of nature.
