An eloborate maiden spirit helmet mask with hair picks on its coiffure.

About Igbo Maiden Spirit Mask
Maiden spirit masks are meant to portray Igbo ideals of feminine beauty. The mask would be danced by a male, dressed in a colorful elaborate bodysuit, during annual Fame of Maidens festivals. The mask also makes appearances at funerals and other cultural events to honor and celebrate ancestors and members of the community. Maiden spirit masks come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some becoming towering structures with elaborate hairstyles and facial scarification. Many are topped with animal and humanoid figures. Most masks will include a white painted face to symbolize purity and beauty.
