Mumuye shoulder mask (also known under the name "vertical mask"), Nigeris, Masks worn horizontally on the head are found across the Middle Benue. In their forms and meanings, they fuse references to animals and humans, the wild and domesticated. The resemblances between masks made by the Chamba, Mumuye, Jukun, Yukuben, Kuteb, and Kantana/Kulere peoples are evidence of a set of broadly shared religious ideas. These ideas and their materialization as masquerades must have spread across the region long before the nineteenth century. With few exceptions, the masks performed in rites of passage (particularly the initiation of young men, the individual and collective remembrance of the dead, and the shifting of seasons).

These hybrid masks are grouped to reveal their strong formal commonalities: each has a central helmet, or cap, where the wearer’s head is covered; backward horns; and a frontal snout. They combine shorthand references to the horns of the dwarf forest buffalo (or bushcow) and to the human skull, as well as other to other human features, for example, nose, ears, hair plaits, or scarification markings. Some performed in gendered pairs with the females taking a distinctively different form.

Ces jumeaux ont été achetés à TRÈS bon prix. Toutefois l’un d’eux était cassé à l’arrivée et je pense que l’emballage n’était pas adéquat. J’ai réussi à recoller le morceau mais c’est visible.

An extraordinary little Dogon bronze with a great feel to it and very expressive. Thanks to the team at Jaenicke: As always, great service and good value at a very reasonable price
