Gelede 45
14.5" high
$900
SOLD
This Gelede mask has been vetted as authentic, made
for tribal use.
Gelede, a male association, uses the aesthetic power of sculpture,
costume, song and dance to placate and please women, who have special spiritual
power. Often with elaborate superstructures, the headdresses appear as identical
pairs in the dances.
Price includes stand.
