Légende
Helmet Mask, early 1900s. Deliberately distorted and exaggerated facial features reflect the awesome powers of a great chief. The quadrupeds on the mask?s head suggest the close association between the leopard and the king. In the Cameroon grasslands, masks are typically related to a regulatory society that guards ancestral mores; society members wear the masks and dance in the secrecy of the night.
