Ijaws and Ijebus of Nairaland!

Your village knowledge might come in handy here..

I would like to know whether the following mask is Ijebu or Ijaw/Kalabari in origin? It depicts a water spirit.

Are you Ijebu?

You are right. Its features are too Ijaw -ish but many places have classified it as Ijebu

Ijawish? Maybe. But I showed an elderly Ijebu woman the picture and she says it looks very similar to Ijebu artefacts.
