These large, skin-covered headdresses (crest masks) are attached to a basketry base which is worn on top of the head. They represent imaginary animals: either crocodile heads crowned with antelope horms or with a woman's curled coiffure.
PLEASE NOTE: The dimensions are represented as follows: length is measured from the tip of the nose to the tip of the horns; width is measured from one side of the horns to the other; depth is measured from the base of the basket to the highest point on the mask (face or horns).
These Ejagham animal headdresses show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
