Egúngún headress (erin type); Adugbologe Workshop of Abeokuta, Yoruba Peoples Nigeria
- Title
- Egúngún headress (erin type)
- Artist
- Adugbologe Workshop of Abeokuta, Yoruba Peoples Nigeria
- Physical Description
- A massive, baroque, and busy wood-carved headdress with stylized face (showing classic Yoruba features) of bulging eyes with defined upper lids, long, straight, triangular nose, symmetrical scarification patterns consisting of three horizontal lines on each cheek, a short beard from ear to ear just underneath the lower lip. Two large “ears” protrude on either side of head and act as “scaffolding” for numerous attachments of symbolic content: birds and lions predominate, but also visible are amulets, wooden claws and beads, crosses, and an insignia shield of some kind. The ears terminate in two oblong mirrors with lions leaping off of each. Layers of pigment are visible, giving impression it has been repainted over time.
