Carved wooden mask attributed to the igbo ethnic group of nigeria, notable for its large striated headdress and two-tone patina. This type of mask is often associated with agbogho mmuo ceremonies, embodying the spirits of young girls and used during ritual dances. It has stylized features with arched eyebrows, half-closed eyes and a finely drawn mouth, characteristic of igbo art. Although its exact use is not confirmed, it is today a magnificent decorative piece, ideal for a collection of african art or for an authentic ethnic touch in an interior.
