Ofogu Mask, Boys Initiation

A photograph depicting a figure wearing an Ofogu mask used during boys' initiation ceremonies in the Etiti Ama quarter of Nkporo. The subject is shown in profile, facing right, wearing a large radial fan-shaped headdress of avian feathers with light bases and dark tips. A dark, form-fitting, granular textured covering obscures the face and neck, with a long narrow conical extension descending from the head toward the subject's hand. The figure wears a light-toned, long-sleeved garment with vertical seams and a decorative textile hanging from the shoulder. In the background, an indistinct group of people is visible against a natural setting of foliage and trees.
