Maske, "mfon ekpo"
Ibibio, Nigeria
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 27 cm.

Provenienz:
- Nachlass Klaus Clausmeyer, Köln. (* 1887; † 1968).
- Galerie Walu, Zürich.
- Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zürich.

Eine eindeutige Zuordnung des einstigen Gebrauchs dieser Maske ist ausserhalb des gesellschaftlichen Kontexts und ohne Tanzkleid nicht mit Sicherheit möglich. Einiges spricht jedoch dafür, dass es sich dabei um eine Maske aus der ekpo-Vereinigung handelt, welche bei politischen und rechtlichen Anlässen sowie bei religiösen Zeremonien auftrat.

Die Vereinigung tanzte schöne und hässliche, gutmütige (mfon) und gefährliche (idiok) Masken. Eine Dualität, wie sie quer durch Afrika auffindbar ist.
