Antelope mask
Ogoni antelope masks, worn in honour of founding ancestors, feature in agricultural ceremonies. The horns stand for male potency. The black mask exhibits traces of red paint. The actual pair of eyes is suggested by convex, almond-shaped bulges adjacent to the inner eye slits.The Ogoni are neighbours of the Ibibio in the west of the Cross River area. Both peoples evince similar forms of organisation as the Igbo living to the west of them. The masks of the Ogoni are generally more delicate than those of their neighbours.Author: Michael Schönhuth, Translation: Timothy Connell
