Makonde Lipico Mask Representing Man with a Beret
Mipico (pl. of lipico) masks are used in performances that accompany coming of age ceremonies, such as the circumcision of young boys. Mipico masks are worn as part of a masquerade of various theatrical characters, such as soldiers, women, foreigners, and local personalities. This example is a somewhat stylized but realistic rendering of a man in Western dress from the coastal area. Circa 1960s.
