| Title |
English: Epa Mask |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: Epa masks are used in masking festivals commemorating the deeds of heroic ancestral warriors, whose stylized faces are represented at the bottom of this mask. These masquerades, which feature ritualized dances, are celebratory reenactments of ancient battles, part real and part mythical. The flanked figure on horseback is a potent reminder of the history of cavalry warfare on the northern edges of the Yoruba realms. |
