Big helmet mask - ethnic Igbo - Nigeria - African mask

Dimensions: 96 x 18 cm - kgMaterial: WoodThe Ibo are one of the three major ethnic groups of Nigeria from which they constitute about 18% of the population. They are located primarily in the southeastern part of the country (bounded to the North by the Benue river and the Niger river in the West), but are also an important part of the population in the two main cities of the country: Lagos in the West and Kano in the North.Before European colonization the Ibo lived in small autonomous communities, without a central Government. The arrival of the British in the s, bringing the Christian religion which will be widely adopted, also brought a sense of ethnic identity.After the independence of Nigeria, power is largely held by the two other ethnic groups majority Hausa and Yoruba, after many clashes, leading in to a declaration of independence known as Biafra. The war of retaliation with the Government army from Nigeria and the famine that followed caused tens of thousands of deaths. Biafra was reintegrated to the rest of Nigeria on January .Dimensions: 96 x 18 cm - kgMaterial: Wood Read More
