Mask - Grebo People - Liberia -SOLD

Price: $0.00


 


The Grebo live on the coast of Liberia, west of the Cavally River. They sculpt masks that incarnate the spirits of the invisible world that live in the forest. Produced by initiates of a very high level, the masks appeared during rituals reserved exclusively for them as well as at times of celebration when the whole population was able to see them. These masks usually display several pairs of eyes thought to represent ancestors and seers. Being geographically isolated, information on the Grebo is only starting to be accumulated by scholars.
