YORUBA
EPA HEADDRESS 17
44" high
$3000
SOLD
Nigeria
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.
This headdress has been judged to be authentic.
