Description

wood, rep., base

The Middle Cross River region is populated by several Bantoid groups (Ekoi/Ejagham) as well as by northeastern Igbo people. Cross-cultural influences abound. The most popular art form, the helmet mask with one or more faces, seems to be common to all groups. A clear attribution is difficult

The mask was designated by Christie’s Paris in 2004 as being from the Ejagham. AHDRC attributes comparable objects as being from the Igbo (compare AHDRC 0094774, 0094781, 0094937).
