Agbogho mmwo "spirit of the girl" mask made of wood, pigment - Lot 24
Agbogho mmwo "spirit of the girl" mask made of wood, pigments and plant fibers, showing an emaciated and whitened face. The stretched and slit eyes, the busted nose, the wide mouth half-opened on filed teeth, and the high complex headdress are characteristic of these masks celebrating the idealized female beauty.
Igbo style - Nigeria
H : 61 cm
W : 28 cm
