Beaded Red And Blue Buffalo Mask - Tribal Art
A gorgeous red buffalo mask. The wooden mask is beset with red cylindrical glass beads. The horns are covered with deep blue beads that beautifully contrast the red. The tips of the horns are eclectically decorated with small red and white beads in an eye-catching patternless design. The mouth of the mask sports an expertly carved set of wooden teeth. The whole piece shows a characterful wear that enhances the authenticity.
Dimensions approx. 63 x 29 x 19 cm
Beaded art from the Cameroon Grasslands collected between 1985 and 2005. Rulers throughout the many Kingdoms in the Cameroon Grassland region (Bamileke –Bamum -Tikar) employed a range of Regalia to assert their political, economic and religious power. Presented publicly in lavish displays of wealth and power, many court objects were distinguished by their elaborate bead embroidery. Imported from Venice, Bohemia or Amsterdam, glass beads were considered a luxury material whose use and distribution were controlled by the King. The decoration of objects with vast quantities of brilliantly colored beads transformed utilitarian objects into symbols of royal status and prestige.
