Item Details

Description

Zweiköpfiger Kopfaufsatz
Ekoi, Nigeria
Ohne Sockel / without base
Holz, Leder, Rohrgestell. H 17,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Helmut und Marianne Zimmer, Zürich.

Es wird vermutet, dass diese ausdrucksstarken Masken einst als Ersatz für Kopftrophäen dienten: Die Menschenschädel seien in späterer Zeit durch solche aus Holz ersetzt worden, welche mit Leder überzogen und einer spirituellen Metamorphose unterzogen wurden. Sie traten bei Initiationsriten und Beerdigungszeremonien auf.
