YORUBA EGUNGUN COSTUMES 2 ARCHIVES
The word Egungun refers to masking associated with honored male
lineage ancestors. Egungun masquerades are performed throughout Yorubaland
but the costune styles are extremely diverse as a result of both regional
preferences and the fertile imagination of artists and patrons. Many Egungun
costumes consist entirely of costly and extravagantly embellished cloth
while others include carved headdresses.
