Description

A PAINTED WOOD AND FIBER 'MMWO' MASK
Nigeria, Igbo

83 cm high

Provenance: Vittorio Bellini (1936-2009) collection.

The use of masks in the Igbo society is closely connected with the desire to communicate with the spirit world, with the aim of strengthening the social values of the community. In this exemplary, particularly refined and evocative, the sculptural elements are harmoniously balanced in an overall effect that evokes great strength.
