Descrizione : African, Cameroon, Bali culture, mid-20th century. Elephant masks like this example played an important part of ritual dances. Their significance was second only to the leader mask. Worn on top of the head, the elephant mask was danced last, in a bold and stately fashion, appropos to its high rank. The elephant was a royal icon and the masks were owned by lineage groups. The wood used to create this piece shows evidence of wear perhaps from age, however, it was likely created in the mid-twentieth century.
