Expertly forged, the defenses provided by metal far outstripped the wood and reed shields employed by many other tribes. As their craft developed, the Mofu began hammering out intricate geometric patterns. These subtle textures are invisible from a distance, allowing the simple form its own sculptural presence. As you approach the complex patterning emerges, offering a second rich experience of this unique object.

The organic curves and expressive features of this mask helped young men take on the mantel (fireplace) of full adulthood by immersing them in the character of the ox. The richness of the wood and extension of the horns leaves negative space and shadow to fill out the striking form of this sculptural object.

The Gelede masquerade is an opportunity to honor or condemn behaviors within the Community, through dance, art, satire, and poetry.

Made for a tourist market, this prestige necklace is nonetheless a storied example of African metalworking.
