About the Item
Considered to be the originators of this accomplished leather-on-wood technique, which is also used by their neighbours Idoma, Boki, Igala and Bangwa, the Ejagham wanted to achieve a realistic and frightening effect through this bold style and technique, in order to defy and frighten any ethnic group or village determined to attack them. The tradition of the cult of human trophies is at the origin of the creation of these masks.
