Igbo Okoroshi with Zoomorphic Ears
Igbo Okoroshi mask with hybrid anthropomorphic and zoomorphic qualities. The face conforms to classical Okoroshi elements, as described by Herbert Cole and Chike Aniakor in Igbo Arts: Community and Cosmos: “small, symmetrical, fine-featured and delicate” features and the use of white pigment. The opened mouth, slanted eyes, narrow chin and black-lined design across the face are also recognizable Okoroshi traits. The dramatic, geometric ears give the mask a playful and charismatic charm. Note the use of red pigment in addition to the typical black and white.
