Ekoi Ekpo peak mask

A 20th-century Ekoi Ekpo ancestor figure

The Ekoi Ekpo crest mask combines wood with antelope hide in a vertical composition measuring 29 x 29 x 62,5 cm. Selected by Versmissen, this ancestor figure features a brown colour and an aged aesthetic. Its height and materials give it a striking presence within a decorative arrangement.

Originating from Nigeria, this piece dates from the 20th century. It represents a spirit mask worn at funerals and other rituals of the secret society. Its cultural context complements its visual appeal and allows it to be appreciated for both its form and its history. Displayed as a decorative object, it naturally draws attention with its slender silhouette.
