Maske
Eket, Nigeria
Gesockelt (base included)
Holz. H 16,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.

Die Eket sind eine kleine Volksgruppe im Südosten von Nigeria, Nachbarn der Ibibio und Ogoni.

Wie vielerorts spielt der Mond auch im Ursprungsmythos der Eket eine zentrale Rolle im Zusammenhang mit der weiblichen Schöpfergottheit.

Die flache, vollmondförmige Gesichtsmaske mit menschlichem Gesicht erschien dementsprechend anlässlich Ernte- und Erntedankfesten des ekong-Bundes.
