Context:
This headdress was probably owned by the Egbege Society, which supervised women's affairs, including the indigenous school that prepared young girls for adulthood and marriage. Worn atop the head of a masker in festival, funeral, and initiation ceremonies, the headdress depicts a young woman as she emerges -- strengthened, fattened, and beautified.
