About

A large Yoruba Epa mask from Nigeria, made of terracotta clay and hand-painted with various pigments in earthen tones. The hollow helmet-form base is carved as a human head and supports a standing horseman with a stylised horse, forming the tall superstructure characteristic of Epa masquerade masks. Surface wear, pigment losses, and age-related marks are present throughout.
