For the little history: The Ligbi mask, originating from the Ligbi people of Ivory Coast and Ghana, reflects their cultural heritage, blending tribal traditions with Islamic influences. Notable for its protruding lips, finely carved nose, slit eyes, and tribal scarifications, the mask’s distinct features echo the Ligbi people's unique identity. Topped with long curved horns, representing the hornbill bird, it signifies fertility and guides the souls of the dead. Carved from hard wood, the Ligbi mask embodies the dual nature of Ligbi beliefs: their ancestral traditions and their adopted Islamic faith. The Ligbi use the mask in rituals and ceremonies, including Islamic celebrations like Eid al-Fitr, dancing to traditional drums and songs. This harmonious blend of cultures is an enduring testament to the Ligbi people's dynamic heritage, balancing tradition and spirituality.Size guide A (inches) B (inches) C (inches) One size 24 3 ½ 2 A (cm) B (cm) C (cm) One size 61 8.9 5
