Descripción : West Africa, Burkina Faso, Aribinda region, Kurumba culture, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A marvelous example of a hand-carved wooden adone (antelope headdress mask). The headdress is composed of a cylindrical face mask with an open verso, a striped headwrap decorated with cowrie shells as well as white, red, and black pigment, and an enormous top ornament in the form of a stylized antelope head. The zoomorphic head boasts an elongated snout, curved ears, and a pair of projecting horns, all adorned with yellow, white, black, red, and blue pigment. Sizable headdress masks like this example traditionally have been worn by the Kurumba peoples in a variety of ritual contexts - the most prevalent use during funerary ceremonies. A wonderful example from Burkina Faso! Size: 18 L x 7.875 W x 45.75 H (45.7 cm x 20 cm x 116.2 cm), 55.75 H (141.6 cm) on included custom stand.
