ABOUT TRIBE/MASK
The Igbo people are located across the main region of eastern Nigeria, making them the second largest tribal group in West Africa after the Yoruba. Their masks are unique and typically painted white with black or other color accents. The white color is a representation of the spirit.
For specific segments of the Igbo population, some mask pairs have been traditionally interpreted as representing the duality of beauty and ugliness.
