Superb Bronze Tikar Mask, Cameroon.

Description: Tikar inhabits the Western high plateau and Bemenda in Cameroom. They speak a Northen Bantoid language called Tikar and are one of the few people who practice a monotheistic traditional religion. They are recognized as artists, artisans and storytellers. The region of Tikar is a hilly and mountainous area covered by an equatorial forest in the south and a savannah in the north. Politically, the area is divided into numerous small independent kingdoms and chiefdoms, whose powers are counterbalanced by male and female societies. Since its colonization by the Germans in 1884, this entire region” (which includes the) “Tikar territories, has attracted the attention of Western scholars because of its artistic heritage. The Tikar area is occupied by around 1700,000 people who speak different languages but yet claim common ancestors. It is divided into two main geographical sub-groups – the first includes village-dwelling people who live in round huts covered by conical roofs and whose artistic output is largely associated with 19th-century bronze pipes. The second sub-group occupies the north-west highlands and they predominantly carve statues and masks. Appears to be missing one small spike back left of mask.Measurement: 14 1/2" X 8 1/2" Weight: 9 lbs
