"Mossi Head dress Mas ceremonies Rep Upper Volta, " Wood created c. 1910

Located in Milwaukee, WI

"Mossi Head dress Mas ceremonies Rep Upper Volta" is a wood sculpture that includes various other materials such as fabric, and fibers.

These were integrated into a new society call Mossi, with the invaders as chiefs and the conquered as commoners. The Mossi make both political art and spiritual art. Figures are used by the ruling class to validate political power, and masks are used by the conquered peoples to control the forces of nature. The several mask styles reflect the diversity of the population before the 15th century invasion. Long tall masks...

Wall-Mounted Carved Wood Sculpture of Igbo Mask Nigeria, Late 19th Century

Located in New York, NY

An adroitly carved Igbo maiden spirit mask from Nigeria elaborately carved with three high hair crests dramatically pairing positive and negative space. These masks are used mostly during the agricultural festivals or the funerals of prominent society members. The mask is fastidiously hand carved and decorated with fine ornamentation in organic pigments, reflecting traditional Igbo esthetics. The facial features have been drawn on the face, in a manner reminiscent of designs traced by woman on various parts of their bodies. The crest representing the figure's hair is composed of hair with a thin covering of clay or charcoal. Various ornaments and shells are incorporated into the hair. An impressive example of Igbo masks...
