Mask - Makondé - Tanzania (No Reserve Price)

Selected by Julien Gauthier

Ce masque (lipiko) est associé aux cérémonies d’initiation chez les Makonde. Il est sculpté dans un bois très léger. Il est toujours porté avec un tissu attaché le long du masque tombant sur les épaules du danseur et faisant partie d’un costume élaboré conçu pour cacher complètement son identité. Ces masques-heaumes sont sculptés la face inclinée vers le haut, les yeux bombés. Le nez creux surplombe des lèvres surdimensionnées et entrouvertes laissant apparaître des dents limées. Les oreilles sont placées au niveau de la bouche.
