In the early to mid-20th century, the Igho people of southeastern Nigeria created a beautiful mask known as the Agbogho, which means "virgin spirit". Men only wear masks at funeral processions or agricultural dance festivals in honor of deities or famous villagers. These masks embody Igo's admiration for youth, feminine beauty, and elegance, reflected in intricate hair designs, small, symmetrical facial features, and prominent facial tattoos. These highly sought-after masks will become rarer and rarer over time. Any African or tribal inspired art collection will benefit from this unique and eye catching piece that will suit any decor setting.
