- Lot Description
African Baga Nimba Shoulder Mask.
Stylized human figure with a large head, a narrow neck, and a wider torso. The head features a prominent nose and simplified facial features. The figure also has small, rectangular projections on either side of its head.
When danced in a village ceremony, a tall man puts the mask over his shoulders and holds it by the bottom of the front legs. The neck and head show up very high off the ground. The dancers body is completely hidden by cloth and raffia. When not being danced, it can be displayed as a spirit figure. Collectors love them, but they are so big, difficult to carve and expensive to ship that we don’t see many of them in the USA. The Baga people live along most of the Guinea coast in West Africa.
Size: 14 x 15 x 41 1/2 in.
