Tribal African Igbo Agbogo mwo mask
\nThis African Igbo mask, known as a “young girl”, is decorated with a tangle of thick braids and fulfils the most important traditional aesthetic criteria. The white colour of the mask refers to the spirits of the ancestors. These masks often accompany the deceased during funeral rites.
\nThe Igbo live in the forests of south-east Nigeria. Each village has a high degree of autonomy and is
\nunder the authority of the oldest tribal leader. The religion of the Igbo includes the
\nthe god Chuku , the supreme creator, who is considered omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and the spirit of the earth Ala .<\/p>\n

The object is very expressive – the slender, feminine face is painted with brown decoration, the lips and ears are accentuated with a terracotta colour.
\nThe headdress is three-dimensional and shows a luxuriant, thick head of hair, which has been extended backwards to show it fully.
\nLocally encrusted matt patina, light red ochre stains.
\nSlight abrasions.<\/span><\/p>\n
