This is a very unique Carved Wood Abstract Mambila Face Resting on a Lizard and Snake Mask. This type of art from the Mambila centers upon an association called suaga. It is primarily concerned with justice and supernatural cleansing within the community. Mambila make highly stylized animal masks. Masks and statues were kept hidden from the eyes of women in a net hung on the inside of a hut that was on stilts; it was guarded by the head of the family. Dancers celebrating the beginning and end of the agricultural cycle are led by a tribesman wearing masks. These masks are in the shape or stylized animal heads, usually dog’s or crow’s, Lizard and other totem animals. A great mask for your home or collection.
