Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: African Mende Helmut Mask (Gonde), 20th Century



Beschreibung : Helmet masks called sowei or ndoli jowei among the Mende, Sherbro and Vai and zogbe among the Gola of Sierra Leone and Liberia are women’s masquerades performed by members of the female Sande society. The masks are danced in public during ceremonies that mark the transition of young girls to womanhood and also at the investiture and funeral of a paramount chief. However this mask belongs to a second category of helmet mask, known as gonde. It serves as a counterbalance to the positive values and aesthetic ideals exemplified by sowei. Indeed, some gonde masks began their lives as sowei masks, but were repurposed as gonde masks when they were damaged or were no longer used for their original function.
