Essay mask of a secret society. Bamum, Cameroon. H 36cm. Shape of a human head with typical hairline, open mouth showing the teeth and black-brown, matt patina; probably from Kom. On a metal base. With the exception of the leader's mask and the "night masks", the masks of the secret societies, which mainly appear at funerary festivals, are considered "harmless".
