Masks & Symbols from Southern & Central Africa

Among the Igbo, sculptures called ikenga are used in male cults that celebrate an individual's powers, successes, and failures. These images are found in the shrines of individual diviners and in the shrines of collective tutelary cults, as symbols of age grades and of communities.

Chez les Igbo, des sculptures appelées ikenga sont utilisées dans des cultes masculins qui célèbrent les pouvoirs, les succès et les échecs d'un individu. Ces
images se retrouvent dans les sanctuaires de devins individuels et de cultes tutélaires collectifs, comme symboles des classes d'âge et des communautés.
