Espantamoscas ceremonial

Description

The mosquito net is made with surplus horse hair. The hilt has been beautifully adorned with brightly colored beads forming typically African geometries.

Thanks to the support that has been made, it can be hung on the wall taking advantage of the vertical space to which it also contributes volume thanks to its size (more than one meter long) and the corpulence of the hair.

It is used in conjunction with the elephant mask as a command sign in the ceremonies of the Kuosi society. It comes from Pais Bamileke, between Cameroon and Nigeria.
