    DescriptionMasks of the Igbo vary widely in form, limited only by the artistry and imagination of the artist. This one shares abstract geometric qualities of a typical personal shrine (ikenga) but was worn on top of the head. The ceremonial context is uncertain.

    There are no works to discover for this record.
