Igbo mask, Nigeria Wood, fabric H. 41 cm Provenance : - Pierre Robin Gallery, Paris This mask named agbogho mmwo represents a female spirit from the afterlife. The face with its delicate features is covered with a layer of white clay, the cheeks and forehead are decorated with scarification marks, and certain details of the face are enhanced with black or red pigments. A complex headdress surmounts the face, made up of buns and braids skillfully arranged. The mask has retained the neck covering made of multicolored fabric which - along with the costume - covered any recognizable part of the dancer's body.
