Note: this is the helmet that AG2R is using in the TDF(see last photo) unlike the photo of the AG2R helmet, this helmet comes without a visor Here is what the manufacturer says about it: Developed and tested in the wind tunnel with the only intention: to be as aerodynamic as possible without any concessions. The EKOI CXR13 helmet was designed at the request of the world tour AG2R team and tested ... moreat the beginning of the season to be ready for the Tour de France. It provides indisputable time compared to traditional chrono helmets(longer. Less profiled, and breakdowns) See the video: CXR13 been tested in the wind tunnel. See the video: CXR13 in action with the triathlete Fred Vanlierde! front profile helmet for optimal air penetration- short back shape to limit turbulence- flexible side to wrap around the ears to increase the aerodynamic- no ventilation- in mold construction- flexible to cover the ears- size adjustable by wheel- washable Coolmax Interior foam sides- one size: 54/64 cm- 21/25 inch- weight: 310 grams- 10.93 oz- CE approved Shipping will be a flat $15 fee anywhere in the US.

The wearer, with mask tied upon head and attached to a long flowing raffia costume, during certain ceremonies, would approach and challenge troublemakers and ... morepunish wrong doers openly. The large, prominent, protruding, antelope skin covered braids are a main characteristic of the Ekoi headdress. The base is constructed from a heavy fiber and enables the structure to stand on its own. Froo www.froo.com | Froo Cross Sell.

Each Ngbe chapter would have a lodge within which a range of ritual equipment was kept including masks. Ngbe membership was originally identified with a warriorâs society on the Cameroon side of the Cross River region, however today Ngbe members are engaged in social control and political activities. Ngbe members use ritual equipment to initiate new members and celebrates their lives during funerals. Crest masks such as this one were worn on the top of the head attached to a basketry cap.

VERY GOOD( except some peeling leather) Additional Information: From Wikepedia. Ekoi people. Also known as Ejagham, are an ethnic group in the extreme southeast of Nigeria and extending eastward into Northern Cameroon. Ekoid Bantu languages are spoken by many groups, including the Atam, Boki, Mbembe, Ufia, and Yako. The Ekoi are related to the Efik, Annang and Ibibio people of southeastern Nigeria and have lived closely with them and also claim to have migrated from the Cameroons to their area. The ... moreinhabitants of Kwa, located near Calabar, claim to be the first Ekoi people to have migrated from the Cameroons. The Ekoi are best known for their Ekpe headdresses. The Ekoi believe that the heirs of the first settlers of their present settlement own the land; while newcomers are not allowed to buy land. They are able to purchase rights of settlement. Ekoi men have traditionally hunted, while women have engaged in agriculture, raising yams, plantains, and corn(maize) Women also fish, and both men and women participate in weaving. Ekoi towns are ruled by councils of elders. But townspeople are free to attend meetings. Native courts that were instituted under British administration provide an appeals system outside of the decision making by the elders. Representatives from various towns sit on the courts. The primary traditional Ekoi deities are Obassi Osaw. The sky god, and Obassi Nsi, the earth god, similar to the Efik. Ancestors and natural forces are also emphasized in Ekoi worship. Various Ekoi cults are devoted to the welfare of common activities, such as farming. Before the establishment of British colonial administration, the egbo was a prominent Ekoi secret society that h

Ekoi Ejagham Mask Head Piece. Vintage African Tribal Art / Nigeria

The head is bounded in leather on wood. There are raised impressions of eyebrows and ears. The eyes were painted in white. The hair was done on braided rows represented by wooden balls on the head. Please note that one hair ball piece is missing. See photos. The piece measures 16 inches high. Front of head to backside measures 10 inches. Head width measures 10 inches. Straw base measures 5 inches diameter with flanged base for support. The backside of straw base has some light scratches which made it lighter in color than surrounding areas. See photo.

Ejagham (Ekoi)Rare Large Sculpture--Mounted Warrior Chief On Horse
Condition: excellent. Size: approx. 21" long x 25 high Ejagham Mounted Warrio r The warlike Ejagham are also known as the Ekoi. After the language they speak. They are found in the Cross River province of Nigeria and in Camaroon. Their carvings. Covered in animal skin are unique in Africa. They are rare and sacred items which are now being offered for sale as traditional Ejagham social structure disintegrates. They are are recognized as among the most impressive of African artifacts. Large standing figures such as this one are not worn as headdresses. But form part of a display regalia of the Ejagham chiefs, who are also priests, known as Ntun. They are hidden in his compound and are brought out on ceremonial occasions to stand beside his thorne; their purpose is to remind the people of his power and authority. This amazing figure portrays ... morea mounted chief. Evoking the terrifying warriors who formerly dedicated human sacrifices to their gods. I do have the original spear which goes in his hand- I found it after taking the pictures. He also has a bow and quiver. The figure is carved of wood and carefully covered with fresh. Very fine antelope skin which is then smoked and cured. When the statue is hard, the leather is stained with pigments made from leaves and bark. The figure is clothed in a headress of feathers. A loin cloth and sandals. The warrior on a rearing horse may appear a Western concept. But in fact such figures have been made in Western Africa for hundreds of years. At over two feet high. This is a large and striking sculpture. Here is a unique opportunity to obtain a vanishingly rare piece of African ethnography offered at a bargain price.

Wood deterioration, worn areas, age cracks, scrapes and chips, overall condition good. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND In the Cross River ... moreregion in southeast Nigeria. And over into Cameroon, several ethnicities are found and among them the Ekoi. The cult of the leopard had a unifying effect on the scattered communities of the Cross River. Commercial, ritual, and social exchanges took place because of it. The Ekoi-speaking peoples(Anyang, Boki, Ejagham, Keaka, and Yako) are best known for their skin-covered face- and crest masks, which are unique in Africa. Earlier skins of slaves, later skins of antelopes, were used. When the mask is made fresh animal skin is stretched and tacked over the soft wood from which it is carved. After the skin dried, it was stained with pigments made from leaves and bark. Masks appear in performances by accomplished dancers at funerals, initiations of new members, agricultural and other events. Crest masks are attached to the basketry cap, which is held on the wearer’s head. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art and had been profoundly influenced by it. Shortly afterwards I bought the Baule Fetish and the Baule bobbin which are still two of the finest pieces in my collection. It is eas
