$300.00
Yoruba Figural Gelede Mask NigeriaThe Gelede mask, originating from the Yoruba people living along the southwestern Nigerian and Beninese border, showcases distinctive features like the downward gaze and subtle scarification, complemented by colorful motifs such as an abstract bird. Used in the Gelede dance of the 'mothers,' these masks represent the positive forces countering nocturnal 'bad' witches causing human suffering. Typically carved from a single piece of wood, these masks are worn during tightly structured, multi-day performances accompanied by singing and drumming. Dancers, adorned in vibrant, multicolored costumes, execute coordinated, energetic movements, often interacting with the audience, evoking a floating sensation as they kick up dust with their lively steps. Reflecting local traditions, these masks resonate with the artistry of ancient Ife's sculpted heads. 148447 Yoruba Figural Gelede Mask Nigeria The Gelede mask, originating from the Yoruba people living along the southwestern Nigerian and Beninese border, showcases distinctive features like the downward gaze and subtle scarification, complemented by colorful motifs such as an abstract bird.
