Ogbom dance crest in Eket / Igbo style - Lot 53
Ogbom dance crest in Eket / Igbo style
Nigeria
69,5 x 19 cm
Surmounted by a female statue sitting on a stool. Under the visored forehead marked with keloids in relief, the face in the shape of a shield has almond-shaped eyes stretched out and a small mouth carried forward, inscribed in the extension of the chin. The breasts are projected into the space, and the abdomen is protruding with a pointed navel, whose dynamism is reinforced by the arch of the back. Dark and crusty patina. These crests were used to honor the goddess of the earth, within the framework of Ogbom society.
