Descrizione : **Originally Listed At $400** West Africa, Nigeria, Igbo, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A stunning ceremonial wood helmet mask known as a Agbogho mmwo, a beautiful and idealized maiden with an ornate coiffure and delicate features. Agbogho mmwo or maiden spirit masks are traditionally worn by adult males in festivals that pay homage to significant deities. In addition to the masks, the performers don tight fitting and brightly hued costumes as they perform somewhat exaggerated and amplified versions of traditional female dances, all the while imitating the gestures and characters of adolescent girls. The perforations around the opening rim could be secured to the rest of the costume. Such masquerades are performed each year during the dry season and accompanied by musicians.
