Add to basketGli Yoruba, che occupano il territorio a Sud-Ovest della Nigeria costituiscono le tribà pià numerose dell'Africa e probabilmente anche la pià ricca di intagliatori del legno. Le maschere dei Yoruba sono spesso simmetriche, hanno una forma generalmente cilindrica, gli occhi sono "a mandorla", la bocca à carnosa e dettagliata e le orecchie sono costituite da dei triangoli pià o meno smussati e arrotondati. Le maschere sono spesso sormontate da una sovrastruttura elaborata con personaggi diversi. Le maschere vengono realizzate per le società segrete e per le feste. Le società pià note sono: la società Gelede e Egungun. La funzione della società segreta Gelede à quella di mantenere la salute e la prosperità della comunità usando rappresentazioni e danze lasciate in eredità dagli avi. La maschera gelede si pratica solo nel Sud-Ovest del territorio yoruba, mentre la maschera eugungun (il termine egungun vuol dire "scheletro") si effettua in tutta l'area degli Yoruba. La maschera eugungun viene utilizzata soprattutto nei funerali delle maggiori personalitÃ, durante i quali vengono svolte delle pantomime rituali con lo scopo di rievocare il morto e i suoi avi. Le maschere egungun sono intagliate in una grande varietà di stili. Uno di essi presenta una cresta intagliata somigliante a una lunga tavola, il volto à rappresentato da ambe le parti. Questa maschera à indossata da un sottogruppo chiamato eugungun laiewu e costituisce un pregio dei cacciatori."La maschera pià spettacolare fra quelle degli Yoruba à prodotta nel Nord-Est della terra di questo popolo. Si tratta di grandi strutture ad elmetto per le feste epa. Le maschere sono composte da un elmetto intagliato con l'espressione di un volto grottesco, il danzatore puà guardare attraverso una larga incisione al posto della bocca, sopra la testa à collocato una struttura con forma discoide Formato: Legno pigmentato le dimensioni cm 45x25.
