Description: | This mask was made by Ekpeya Ibo people of Nigeria in the late 1800s. The people who made the mask lived beside rivers and their spirit world was dominated by water beings. Fish-like masks were worn on the top of the head by dancers who would enact the role of the spirits in ceremonies. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East other cultures | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
