Seller Notes: “Male Gelede mask from the Yuruba people of Nigeria. The Gelede ceremony is performed in the ... “Male Gelede mask from the Yuruba people of Nigeria. The Gelede ceremony is performed in the afternoons and offered to the mothers of the community. Women have a dual potential: creation and witchcraft causing various afflictions and death. All women have the potential for destruction, as well as creation.This is a very attractive mask is probably from the village of Meko, with the carving of the expressive face with scarifications. This is a particularly attractive piece having as a crest a lion. The lion with an open mouth and eyes that seem to follow you. The Yuruba people use various creatures for decoration, sometimes, animals, sometimes birds. This piece is very well carved from one solid piece of wood. Holes are present for the raffia face covering that was originally in place. It has a custom-made stand. It has been repaired over the years, but this does not detract from the overall effect.It was purchased in California about 30 years ago.”
