Afrique. Masque de danse Mumuyé. Les mumuyés habitent dans des régions très reculées au Nigéria au sud de la rivière Bénoué à proximité de la frontière du Cameroun dans un territoire habité depuis près de 40 000ans. Ils ne furent découverts qu’à la fin des années 60 car leur territoire est protégé par une frontière montagneuse et dépourvu de ressources naturelles pouvant intéresser les européens. Leur peuple est estimé à seulement 600 000 individus, ils sont agriculteurs sédentaires de céréales ou de millets. Une petite partie d’entre eux évaluée à 10 000 vivent sur le territoire du Cameroun. Ce masque cimier pouvait être notamment utilisé dans le cadre de rites liés aux récoltes. Bois, pigments, kaolin. H. 13,5cm, L. 24,5cm. (Afrique, Art africain, Civilisation et ethnies -sku42afr)

Vue Rapide€3.100,00The Idoma are an ethnolinguistic group that mainly inhabits the western regions of Benue, Nigeria, and related groups are found in Cross Rivers State, Enugu State and Nasarawa State in Nigeria. The Idoma language is classified in the Akweya subgroup of the idomoid languages of the Volta family – Niger, which includes the Alago, Agatu, Etulo and Yala languages of the Benue, Nasarawa and Northern Cross states. The Akweya subgroup is closely linked to the Yatye-Akpa subgroup. Most of the territory is inland, south of the Benue River, some seventy-two kilometers east of its confluence with the Niger River. The Idomas are known to be classy “warriors” and “hunters”, but welcoming and peace-loving. Most of the land of Idoma remained largely unknown in the West until the 1920s, leaving much of the colorful traditional culture of Idoma intact. The population of Idoma is estimated at around 4 million. The Idoma people have a traditional chief called Och’Idoma who is the head of the Traditional Council of the region of Idoma while each community has its own traditional chief such as Ad’Ogbadibo d’Orokam, chief of Enenche. The palace of the Och’Idoma complex is located in Otukpo, in the state of Benue.
