Su tocado es alto e imponente, y ricas texturas cubren sus mejillas. Llamado Kuriga - "cabeza tribal" en el idioma del pueblo Bamileke - esta hermosa máscara es de Kobina Asmah. "Las orejas están representadas para mostrar a alguien que sabe escuchar. La máscara muestra al jefe tribal que ejerce autoridad en los casos judiciales", explica el artesano. La máscara presenta un acabado envejecido y desgastado.

This sculpture of the Benin Oba is rare, but the item I received did not have the richness of the picture. Also the sculptures coloring on the neck had bed a-lot when the item arrived. This was going to be a culmination moment of my current collection. .
