Description:
|
|
The Ibibio-speaking people are from southern Nigeria. They are mostly found in Akwa Ibom, Cross River,and on the Eastern Part of Abia. The figure, Idiok Ekpo, is designed to inspire both fear and respect. In Ibibio culture it is said that a doer of evil deeds will become a ghost like Idiok Ekpo. These masks are painted dark and have facial distortions. Idiok Ekpo's counterpart is a good and beautiful mask, Mfon Ekpo. Men in the ancestral spirit association called Ekpo play out the drama.
