Glass-Eyed Janus Idoma Headdress
Exceptional Janus-faced headdress from the Idoma people of Nigeria’s Benue State. Blackened, half-circle rims encompass glass eyes on each side; other facial features including nostrils, lips and eyebrows are darkened for emphasis against the whitened faces. Each face bears unique facial scarification; cheek cicatrices are carved and painted dark. Unique and rare piece.
