Funerary vessel, possibly Efik peoples, lower Cross River region, Calabar area, Nigeria, early 20th century, Wood, skin, plant fiber, bone, dye Skin-covered masks in Africa are found only in southeastern Nigeria and western Cameroon. Historical evidence suggests that the peoples of this region regard skin as a substance associated with the spirits of the dead and their animal counterparts. The facial features are realistically portrayed. The spiral horns are similar to the hairstyles worn by girls during a ceremony marking the end of their seclusion prior to marriage.Funerary vessel, Possibly Efik peoples, lower Cross River region, Calabar area, Nigeria, Early 20th century, Wood, skin, plant fiber, bone, dye |
