Description
English: Female Crest Mask. Southeastern Nigeria, Cross River region, Ejagham peoples. Wood, leather, vegetable fibers, pigments, metal. Gift of Ewa and Yves Develon. Inv. 2018.14.8. Musée des Confluences, Lyon, France.
Français : Masque cimier. Sud-est du Nigeria, région de la Cross River, population ejagham. Bois, cuir, fibres végétales, pigments, métal. Don d'Ewa et Yves Develon. Inv. 2018.14.8. Musée des Confluences, Lyon, France. Ce spectaculaire cimier en bois recouvert de peau d'antilope est le portrait idéalisé d'une femme sur le point de se marier. Les trois tresses torsadées évoquent les coiffures des jeunes files à la fin de la période initiatique. Ces masques hyperréalistes apparaissent lors des initiations ou des funérailles, afin d'exalter la beauté féminine. : cartel du musée des Confluences.
