1915.02.0729 :: mask (ansiktsmask), dansmask

Object description

Dansmask bestående av en ram av kokospalmens bladribbor överdragen med barktyg/tapa. Barktyget är överdraget med en pasta/kåda utvunnen ur parianariumnöten som sedan modellerats till att skapa ansiktsdrag. Ansiktet är färgat svart med tunna vita linjer som förmodligen representerar märken av ärrtatueringar. Skurna träbitar tjänar som öron. Längst upp på masken finns en tofs av växtfiber. Masken är i dålig kondition.

Masker likt denna bars ofta vid festligheter vid skördefestivaler.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
