Carved Nimba Mask at The British Museum, London
myminifactory
This intricately carved mask (nimba) crafted from wood with metal embellishments hails from the Baga people of Guinea, created in the 20th century. Nimba masks are deeply rooted within the simo society and are often paraded through fields, showered with rice to boost fertility. Due to their substantial weight, relays of dancers are needed, and the community reaps the greatest benefits when a mask deteriorates from age and use.
