Nigeria, Ibibio Anthropomorphe Maske "mfon ekpo" Holz, Pigmente diverse handgeschriebene und gedruckte Etiketten auf der Rückseite, Sockel Das Thema der Dualität, ein Grundmotiv der afrikanischen Kunst, manifestiert sich in den Maskentraditionen des südöstlichen Nigeria auf vielfältige Weise.

Hier werden Verkörperungen von bösen und gefährlichen Geistwesen "idiok ekpo", die eines unehrenhaften Todes gestorben sind, gegenübergestellt mit den heiteren Physiognomien von wohltätigen und hoch angesehenen Verstorbenen "mfon ekpo".
