Idoma Headdress with Facial Ornamentation
Beautiful ceremonial headdress from the Idoma people of Nigeria’s Benue State. The face is strikingly painted, with patterned facial carvings set atop an elongated neck and fiber-wound headpiece. The Idoma are known for facial ornamentation on ritual masks and headpieces; a similar Idoma piece can be found here. The black streaks on this work could be tear marks.
