Description: You have found the missing piece to your Mask Collection! Here is a Vintage Decorative Hand Carved Wooden Songye Kifwebe African Mask. In most traditional African cultures, the person who wears a ritual mask conceptually loses his or her human identity and turns into the spirit represented by the mask itself. This transformation of the mask wearer into a spirit usually relies on other practices, such as specific types of music and dance, or ritual costumes that contribute to conceal the mask-wearer’s human identity. The mask wearer thus becomes a sort of medium that allows for a dialogue between the community and the spirits (usually those of the dead or nature-related spirits). Masked dances are a part of most traditional African ceremonies related to weddings, initiation rites and so on. The mask is 9 5/8" across by 21 3/4" high by 9 1/8" deep, and in excellent preowned condition based on Wear from Age (see Pictures). Please see our Not Just China Store for more African Fine Art.
