Crest Mask - Ejagham People - Nigeria

Price: $495.00


 


The Ejagham people of Nigeria originate from the Cross River region of Nigeria. The Cross River basin overlaps Nigeria & Cameroon and is geographically and culturally diverse. Masquerades are performed at funerals, initiations of new members, and other events sponsored by associations. The crest mask does not cover the head but rather sits on top of it. These masks were worn with elaborate flowing gowns. The crest mask displays realistic features by the skin sheathing & the use of small pieces of palm rib for the teeth. Some masks have real hair attached to the scalp to heighten this effect.
