Descrizione : wood, blackened, inventory no. 270 According to Poynor the agbodogin mask has been adopted by the Owo Yoruba and is firmly rooted in the egungun traditions of that group. Poynor published two agbodogin masks of the Owo Yoruba. One has the face blackened, as in the present specimen, while the other is whitened and edged in black. The latter can be seen in a field photograph taken by Poynor in 1973 showing a mask dancer in full regalia (Poynor, 1995, p. 72). The origin of this mask type remains a mystery to researchers today. There is agreement that the shape of the mask is atypical of the Yoruba mask tradition. Drewal (1989) sees in this respect an origin from Ishan and also Poynor reports of a similar mask, which was found in Ishan north of Benin. But local traditions maintain that the mask is an import there also, which means that its origin remains a mystery. AHDRC: 0194210 Continent: Africa
