Descripción : wood, polychrome pigments, base The Kuyu dyo (snake god) ceremonies show performances alternated between mimed sequences and dances. Different actors appear one after the other. Among them are the Eouya (the snakemen) and the primordial couple (djokou, the father and ebotita, the mother). At the end of the performance, the chief initatior reveals ebongo, father of the eouya. Head sculptures, such as this one, were attached to staffs, which the dancers held with stretched out arms high above their heads, while their bodies were entirely concealed by raffia-cloth robes referred to as snakeskin. According to Bénézech, eouyas dance is called kébé-kébé by the Western Kuyu. The performance marks the end of the boys' initiation. Continent: Africa
