Description
SquareTrade © AP6.0Check out my other items! Be sure to add me to your favorites list! Visit my Yoruba / Nigeria / Gelede secret society mask / Wood, Pigment, Kaolin / H 10 1/2 inches X L 12 inches / early 20th Century, tested to establish age by a leading European laboratory, papers on hand. Exquisite beauty and a serene expression distinguish this delicate mask. The superstructure once attached to the top of the mask is missing, but does not distract from the ethereal beauty of this mask. Gelede masking traditions are mainly found in the western and costal areas, and may be staged at any time of the year. These festivals are performed in order to celebrate The Great Mother IYA NLA, the mother of nature, and her human disciples, and so to enlist the support of supernatural forces from these powerful mothers
