African Tribal Face Makonde Tanzania Mozambique A female body Mask-G1010Product Description
SIZE(CM): 43.3/24 Sold without stand These masks have only been produced by two African groups: the Yoruba in Nigeria, who create solely masks, and the Makonde in Tanzania and Mozambique, who fashion both male and female masks. Makonde dancers perform while wearing these masks, often in conjunction with matching helmets or face masks, to depict the struggles of childbirth. The specific mask in question, known as the 'Ndimu' mask, is crafted from lightweight wood and portrays the face of a young expectant mother. Its color scheme features a mix of yellow and white, with black accents highlighting both the breasts and raised scar patterns. On the inside and back, a good usage patina adorns the stunningly thin piece - a true sight to behold. While it shows minor colour abrasion from extended use on the front, no damage is to be found.
