As it is shown on this example. Most Ikenga are generally sculpted as a male anthropomorphic figure with horns rising vertically from the ears or head or with curved ram horn-like. An Ikenga is a personal shrine dedicated to the individualâs courage and physical strength. It comes from the Igbo of Nigeria who are the largest tribal grouping along the lower Niger River and the Niger Delta Region. Igbo art is diverse in its many forms, materials, and use, and is broken into a number of sub-styles based upon history and the local physical environment. Much of their art is open to public view where the Igbo are reminded of their ancestors and of the various spirits of the Igbo pantheon of gods. Kept in personal shrines, Ikenga honor the success of an individual in business or battle or will honor their social standing. They incorporate a personâs spirit, his abilities, his familyâs prestige as well as his ancestors. Offerings are made of chalk and cola nut. 70482* All content.

W ood deterioration. Overall condition good, chips and scrapes. Base not Included"FREE SHIPPING U.S. Nigeria Every Igbo town differs in terms of its range of festivals and types of masks. And oftentimes the spiritual and stylistic forms intermingle between regions, making it difficult to trace this mask to one particular location. However. Masking traditions throughout the various Igbo regions share underlying themes and similar spirits. And so the purpose of this maiden mask can be at least somewhat clarified. Of the two ... moremost important mask types among the Igbo- those idealizing the qualities of young women. And those representing the powers of men, the maiden mask embodies the former. When the mask is worn. Always by a man, the maiden spirit a dancer personifies represents the ideals of youthful feminine grace and beauty, albeit exaggerated both in the masks and the performance of them. Maiden mask artists favored red. Orange, yellow, and black pigments to highlight their carvings, along with other colors, and these can be seen on the entirety of the mask. As in a number of the more elaborate masks. Which can have anywhere from one to three hair crests. Maiden masks are used mostly during agricultural festivals(usually the dry season) and the second funerals of prominent society members. On latter occasions maiden spirits are invoked alongside other spirits as appropriate escorts of the highly respected dead into the spirit world. During agricultural or other ceremonies. However, maiden spirits appear to aid in watching over the living and to promote abundant harvests, fertility, and general prosperity. Maiden spirits are light-hearted in contrast to more menacing spirits of the Igbo world. W

The Igbo use thousands of masks and statues which incarnate unspecified spirits of the dead. Forming a vast community of souls. The outstanding characteristic of the many Igbo masks is that they are painted chalk white, the color of the spirit.

With their masks, the Igbo oppose beauty to bestiality, the feminine to the masculine, black to white. The masks, of wood or fabric, are employed in a variety of dramas: social satires, sacred rituals(for ancestors and invocation of the gods) initiation, second burials, and public festivals, which now include Christmas and Independence Day. Some masks appear at only one festival, but the majority appear at many or all.

Igbo aghogho Maiden spirit Mask, African Tribal Creations, art, Nigeria, mmo Ibo
An African Tribal Creations gallery Igbo'aghogho' Maiden Spirit Mask A massive ethnic group numbering between eight and ten million strong. In the southeastern portion of Nigeria, the Igbo are as artistically prolific as any on the African continent. Though mainly merchants and farmers today, supplementary and interspersed hunting and fishing does provide for many families. The lack of centralized unification among Igbo people has led to an incredibly diverse series of artistic styles, many of which are based upon a series of fundamental ideals. Though known in the art world primarily for their'Maiden masks' and their beautifully detailed and realistically proportioned figures, the Igbo have a large variety of masks, not all of whose purposes are understood, though many are accepted to represent unspecified spirits of the ... moredead. Most Igbo art is pigmented chalk white, generally with kaolin, as this is the color of ancestors and the deceased. Regional differences in culture and in secret societies are somewhat well defined among the Igbo, and their artforms vary accordingly.

Elaborate hairstyling is common, and is finely detailed in this mask. Scarification marks are ubiquitous among Igbo art, and are clearly present on this piece.

African Igbo / Ibo "Edjo" Warrior Shrine Figure 5' 7" Tall
African Igbo/ Ibo"Edjo" Warrior Shrine Figure 5' 7" Tall African Igbo/Ibo Warrior Shrine Figure Igbo(Ibo) Shrine Figure Nigeria Carved wood. 20th century 66.5 inches tall and 10 inches wide The IBO are one of the largest ethnic groups in southeastern Nigeria. Shrine figures like this are called alusi or edjo and represent tutelary deities and ancestors. The triple line/box design down the chest of this figure tells us the ancestor being worshipped was a high-ranking military male or warrior. Death and afterlife play a large role in the customs& traditions of the Ibo. They believe all living things have two souls(the eternal ego or“maw” and the life force that dies with the body( Nkpuruk-obi) Both entities are karma. Both souls leave with the last breath, the“maw” takes on the form of a ghost, shadow or reflection, therefore ... moreno one wants to walk on a shadow. Some Ibo carry mirrors so that evil spirits will strike it and not their bodies. After death, a ferryman ghost( Asasabu) brings good souls across the river of death to be reincarnated into trees, animals and other living things. Because they believe in and respect the worship of spirits. Funeral ceremonies can take years with feasts, music, plays and pilgrimages. The Ibo believe their ancestors always watch them, and in order to pray to them and have them respond well, they throw food on the ground to feed and appease them. The“Fene Bene” or chief sets out drink and food for ancestors every eight days. It is against tribal law to speak ill of ancestors( Nduen Forbara) The Ibo were receptive to Christianity and education under British colonization and missionary influence. They played a major role in securing Nigerian independence from Britain in 1960. But many Ibo fled to the east, seceded from Nigeria in 1967 and called their government the Republic of Biafra. In 1970, civil war defeated Biafra. See: Herbert M.Cole. Igbo Art: Community and Cosmos, UCLA, 1984 Due to the size of this piece anyone outside the UK could you please contact us
