CORONATION MASK

BAMILEKE, CAMEROON
WOOD, PIGMENT, HEIGHT 64CM

This extremely large and powerful mask was used at coronations of the King and Queen, as well as for marriage celebrations of prominent people in the Bamileke society. It is almost impossible to see that the two images displayed are of the same mask. What definitely is a spider on the first image, looks like a king’s crown with a birds beak in the next.
