ChinenyeN: I do have some pictures of the Riverine Igbo (Ekpafia, Abua, Ekpeye). You will find them on the 1st page. And I am still looking for some pictures of the Ngwa and Ndoki of Igboland. When I find them, I will post them as soon as possible my brother. |

Igbo maiden-spirit maskers near Akwa, Nigeria 1935 "The white maiden masks, all danced by men, have super structures of several types, indicating spirit characters of different ages. The eldest daughter, called Headload because of her mask's large figured superstructure, leads the others. Her younger sisters, following, have elaborate crested hairstyles and small pointed bosoms. All wear bright polychrome appliqué cloth "body suits" whose patterning loosely resemble monochromatic designs painted on youthful females in the area. Other characters in the drama are a mother, a father, sometimes an irresponsible son, and a suitor costumed as a titled elder, whose amorous, often bawdy advances to one or more "girls" are invariably rebuffed. The play unfolds predictably, with the maidens' dances becoming ever faster and more virtuosic as the maskers compete with one another for audience approval and even financial reward."

I will dedicate another thread to the masquerades that occur in Igboland in todays society. The Igbo Masquerade are not a lost art. |

That Ukpuru blog is interesting, especially the link to Nsibidi/Nsibiri. I like it. |
Re: Colonial Alaigbo (Igboland) in Pictures by naijangel7(f): 3:11pm On Apr 02, 2011 |
Wow! Interesting pictures! But i do believe that a couple of them are post-colonial. Also, the second pic of a woman with the rather flambuoyant hairstyle on page 1 doesn't really come across as an Igbo woman. More like Kanuri or something. Good job, though. |
