Product description
The belly mask is a unique artistic piece from specific African cultures. These objects often have a ritual and symbolic function, and their design can vary between ethnic groups. Typically, masks are used in ceremonies to represent spirits, ancestors or deities, and to invoke their protection or blessing. This piece appears to be medium sized, designed to be worn or displayed during ritual ceremonies. The body of the sculpture represents a prominent belly, symbolizing fertility, motherhood or prosperity. The breasts are well defined, emphasizing the feminine aspect of the sculpture. The hands are placed on the stomach, a symbolic gesture frequently associated with protection and blessing of the life to come. The simplicity of the ornamentation, combined with attention to essential forms, indicates a deep symbolic meaning. The necklace around the neck is often a sign of wealth or social importance. The dark, lightly used patina suggests some age and prolonged use in ritual contexts. The red paint on the hairstyle adds an important visual and symbolic dimension. The prominent belly and well-defined breasts indicate that this sculpture is likely a symbol of fertility and motherhood. In many African cultures, fertility is celebrated and protected through ritual objects. Hands on the stomach can symbolize protection of the life to come, invoking the spirits to bless and protect the expectant mother and her child. This sculpture would probably have been used during ceremonies linked to fertility, birth, or the celebration of femininity and motherhood. It could also serve as a protective talisman in a home.
