About the sculpture
This helmet mask is part of a lineage mask group, or a family of masks that perform together. It represents the male human face and symbolizes a royal or clan ancestor. Masks such as these usually perform at funeral or memorial celebrations. This mask is worn on the top of the head, while a mesh veil conceals the performer's face.
