Gelede Mask3595/16

Wooden headdress, or mask, carved to depict a humanoid head wearing a circular headpiece, with four smaller humanoid figures sitting on it. The main head is primarily dark red, with protruding eyes outlined in blue and a protruding nose, mouth, and ears. Circular holes are bored through the centre of each eye. Triangular holes are bored through the bottom of each nostril. Three black incised lines are on each cheek as well as the forehead. This head has a blue circular headpiece, on which four small humanoid figures are sitting around some kind of table or board (Wari ?). The figures at the front and back of the head are facing each other; while the figures sitting near the ears are facing the same direction as the main head. Below the latter two figures, a fibre chin strap for the wearer of this headdress/mask is looped through small vertical sections of bored-through wood.
