Maske, "agwe" (no reserve price)
Widekum, Kamerun
Ohne Sockel (base NOT included).
Holz, mit Leder überzogen. H 29,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Kurt Hösli-Brutschin (1928-2006), Basel.

Beeindruckende, mit Leder überzogene Holzmaske, laut K.-F. Schaedler
vermutlich aus der königlichen Bangwa-Gesellschaft. Die Widekum sind eine kleine Volksgruppe, die am Oberlauf des Cross-Flusses, im Westen des Kameruner Graslandes ansässig sind und über die bis heute wenig geforscht wurde.

Es liegt aber nahe, dass die Masken dieser zwischen dem Cross-River-Gebiet und dem Kameruner Grasland gelegenen Region formal und in der Verwendung denen der angrenzenden Ethnien (zB Anyang und Ekoi) verwandt sind.
