Es gab Masken, welche zum Beschneidungslager gehörten und Mittlerinnen zwischen Initiierten und dem Dorf waren. Die maskierten Gestalten bewegten sich anmutig, scherzten mit den Frauen und baten sie, reichliches Essen ins Lager zu senden. Diese Maske zeigt die typischen weiblichen Züge, verbunden mit der spitzovalen konkaven Gesichtsform mit zierlicher Nase, leicht geöffnetem Schmollmund und bohnenförmige Augen mit schmalen Sehschlitzen.
Provenienz:
Koller, Zürich, 20. Juni 2009, Lot 143.
Schweizer Privatsammlung. (1230146) (13)
