Nigéria, Urhobo Masque anthropomorphe Bois, pigments rest. D'après Foss, ce masque représente une jeune mariée urhobo, appelée « opha ». La coiffure, ornée d'appendices en forme de cornes, est censée reproduire la coiffure artistique des jeunes filles lorsqu'elles sont présentées à la communauté villageoise. Son apparence souligne le rôle prépondérant que jouent les esprits de l'eau en tant que protecteurs des jeunes femmes. Dimensions : H : 42,5 cm Provenance : Wilhelm Krohn, Eckernförde, Allemagne Karl Anton Ganzenmüller, Schönkirchen, Allemagne Bibliographie : Foss, Perkins (éd.), Where Gods and Mortals Meet, New York 2004, p. 119 et suivantes, ill. 66, 68
