Old Tribal used African Senufo Kponungo "Firespitter" mask - Iv. Coast
*Hand carved from a single piece of wood, with color pigments.
This mask is Long 90 cm and 44 cm high.
This mask has been identified as dating from the 1950s and shows signs of significant use.
This Senufo mask was collected between 1950 and 1960 and ended up in my private collection in 2001, with a certificate of authenticity.
These large horizontal masks, composites of several animals, were called Kponungo, or "funeral head masks". The term "Firespitter" is used by outsiders. Used by both Poro and non-Poro male societies, these helmet masks embodied an aggressive supernatural power to combat any forces that might disrupt the well-being of the community.
The powerful features of antelopes, buffaloes, crocodiles, warthogs, hornbills, chameleons and humans combined to symbolize power and to recall important myths. They were used in anti-witchcraft ceremonies.
Local pickup in the Netherlands - Hengelo - or with a courier for 65 euros in the Netherlands or Belgium.
