Large animal mask agbanabo. Igala, Nigeria. H 48cm. Published and exhibited! Illustrated in: K.-F. Schaedler, Encyclopedia of African Art and Culture, (2009), p. 281. Exhibited: 2010 at Galerie Pixis, Munich, Kurfürstenstraße. The Igala are a large ethnic group living southeast of the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, numbering around 400,000 people. On two days a year - one day in the rainy season and one in the dry season - the Igala honor their ancestors who live in the land of the dead. These days are called Ote Egu, literally drinks for the spirits, and all the ancestral masks appear and dance. There are also a number of royal masks, the most important of which consists of a fabric costume with various appliqué emblems, again interestingly featuring motifs from the ritual garments of the Jukun. The extremely rare helmet mask offered here is in the shape of a baboon's head with the typical elongated snout and white-rimmed eyes. The hairstyle consists of a black mass into which - as with the masks of human conception - abrus beans were inserted (only a few still exist). So far, only one other baboon mask has been published. It was recorded in situ in Idah, the capital of the Igala, by Kenneth Murray in 1949, also with white-rimmed eyes. Monkey masks are also occasionally found among other ethnic groups in Africa, such as the Hemba in the D.R. Congo (soko mutu), but this species is probably a physiognomic replica of a chimpanzee. Otherwise, baboon masks are not known among any other ethnic group in Africa and even among the Igala they only appear at certain masquerades, the festivals for the dead.

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Torch - From the Collection of IOC Member James Worrall Official Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics torch that was presented to Canadian Olympic administrator James Worrall. Constructed of stainless steel, aluminum, and sheet molding, the torch measures 37″ in length and 3″ at its widest point. Manufactured by Bombardier, the torch features a shape and contours that represent the lines made by snow and ice sports, and it’s engraved with the motto "With Glowing Hearts / Des plus brilliants exploits," with the Canadian maple leaf 'cut-out' on the opposing side. The Vancouver Games logos are present on either white panel, the upper tips of which show slight separation; the body bears a few light scuffs. Complete with its original torch relay carrying bag. The torch was lit in Olympia on October 22, 2009, and from October 30, 2009, until February 12, 2010, the Olympic Flame was carried by over 12,000 runners for over 100 days over a course of 45,000 km of Canadian soil—the longest national relay ever held. After competing in hurdles for Canada in the Berlin 1936 Summer Olympics, Worrall put forth a lifetime of effort in favor of the Canadian Olympic cause. From 1964 to 1968, Worrall was the president of the Canadian Olympic Committee, and from 1967 to 1989 he was a member of the International Olympic Committee. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the organizing committees for the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics and the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics and was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1987.
