Ibibio, Nigeria.

sold, but see the available Ibibio puppet

Danced by the Ekon Society. Represents a young female beauty. height: 43 cm

articulated arms, wood kauris

Price not available

Efik-Ibibio Peoples of the Old Calabar Province of Nigeria

Used during masquerades of the Ibibio

The Ekon Society, depicting beautiful young women.

The Anang, one of the western-most Ibibio groups, carve in a far more naturalistic style than the rest of the Ibibio people. The serene, almost contemplative expression on this young female puppet may point to an Anang origin.

Wooden doll with movable arms; this doll type represents the anticipated idealistic beauty of the first child of the doll's owner. Young Ibibio girls before initiation into adulthood, are put into seclusion, taught feminine roles by the other mothers and encouraged to gain weight to become more attractive as a bride and mother-to-be.

Articulated arms, classic hair style, traditional form of concentric circular rings at waist, beautiful naturalistic features, black and red coloration.

Listen to an Efik speaking song , the dance is Ekombi :
