Beninese mask, 'Warrior Dance'

Robert Nortey replicates the Adzogbo dance mask, which originates in Benin. Meaning "War Ritual," the Adzogbo dance is performed only by men so they may display their physical strength and prowess, as well as their spiritual power. The dance is preceded by a series of spiritual songs, and is now performed in Togo and Ghana. Nortey carves the mask from sese wood and adorns it with hand-painted motifs and embossed brass plates.
