1955.08.0008 :: mask (ansiktsmask)

Object description

Dansmask av trä. Användes i samband med jakt. Före jakten dansar man och har stora fester. Man tillber jaktguden som representerar en viss djurart. Enligt uppgift från O. Ericsson år 1958 bars denna mask vid danser som närmast hade karaktären av folknöje. Den

kunde dock användas i ett annat syfte då man drog ut att strida mot andra stammar och ta slavar. Det var då endast de "grymmaste" av avgudaprästerna som fick bära dessa maskar. En sådan präst kallades dji.

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.
