Description

wood, pigments, rattan, base

Such headdresses performed as male/female pairs on large festive occasions in Foumban. Fixed to wickerwork bases they were worn on the head, while the dancer covered his face with a scarf. Nowadays they exclusively appear for entertainment. Originally they might have belonged to the warrior society “nsorro”, which performed its dances on the occasion of funerals of one of its members.
