Item Details

Description

Maske, "mma ji"
Igbo-Afikpo, Nigeria
Mit Sockel / with base
Holz, Raphia. H 34,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass Denise David (1928-2011), Zürich.

„Yamswurzelmesser“ (Mma ji) genannte Maske, deren bugähnliche Stirnverlängerung eine Machete darstellt, die bei der Feldarbeit gebraucht wurde und früher auch als Waffe diente.

Sie soll insbesondere an Feierlichkeiten anlässlich der Yams-Ernte aufgetreten sein. Die Masken der Afikpo durften von Frauen zwar nicht getanzt werden, als Zuschauerinnen waren sie allerdings durchaus erwünscht.
