Judge and Feast Gabonese Wood Mask
Carved in the image of a wise and solemn woman, this mask by Salihu Ibrahim is inspired by the customs of the Punu people from Gabon. Wonderfully expressive, the sese wood mask serves a judiciary function: It is used to identify the sorcerer within the clan. On special occasions however, it is also used for entertainment during festivities.
