African masks art objects were, and are still made of various materials, included are leather, metal, fabric and various types of wood. They’re considered amongst the finest creations in the art world and are highly sought after by art collectors. African Masks: Nigeria

During celebrations, initiations, crop harvesting, war preparation, peace and trouble times, African masks are worn by a chosen or initiated dancer. It can be worn in three different ways: vertically covering the face: as helmets, encasing the entire head, and as crest, resting upon the head, which was commonly covered by material as part of the disguise. African masks often represent a spirit and it is strongly believed that the spirit of the ancestors possesses the wearer.

Shown here is the Epa Mask carved by the Yoruba people. Epa masks are carved from soft and light-wooded trunks of the e’ruku tree. Other Nigerian Masks…

Ife Art Ife art opens our eyes to the astonishingly realistic human figures cast in metal or terra cotta more than half a millennium ago in the ancient West African city-state of Ife (pronounced EE-fay). The finest were made between the 11th and 15th centuries, when the Ife kingdom was at the height of its power. Important people were often depicted with large heads because the artists believed that the Ase was held in the head, the Ase being the inner power and energy of a person.
