Many art objects of the Bini people are similar to pieces from the Yoruba or Benin people. However the Bini masks are of a very autonomous shape. This very typical Azigho mask is part of the collection of Boris Kegel-Konieztko collected by his mother in the 1950s; it representates an antelope.
Masks like this are used within the rituals of the secret Ekpo-Society in order to protect the people against illness.
Comes incl. original collectors etiquette, catalogue number and signs of use.
