This is the rating and price for Female Singer Mask Nineagla - Côte D'Ivoire, Wè / Guéré / Wobé, 2005



Description : wood, metal teeth, decorating tags, fabric, plant fibre, animal hair, base Nineagla literally means young-girl-mask. Although the masks represent beautiful young girls and always have typical women?s tattoos on the cheeks, they are always danced by boys and young men. They appear especially after dark and form the lowest level within the mask hierarchy. Himmelheber reports: Sometimes you can see very young boys with such a mask and only one companion walking through the village and here and there they show their singing skills without any special effort.
