About this object

Authentic and very impressive Epa headdres from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. Among the most impressive artistic cultures in the world, the Yoruba, with 9 Centuries of history, exhibit a wide variety of traditional artifacts. The works from the Epa association honor deities and cultural heroes at masked festivals. The large base heads, of deceased ancestors, are treated with less naturalism than the superstructure, which depicts and honors mothers with children, warrior/hunters, animals and rulers with their entourages in impressive sculptural form.
Good condition with clear traces of wear and tear.
