This lead and ivory head of a leopard is an Edo ceremonial costume attachment from the royal court of Benin, now incorporated into the modern republic of Nigeria. This attachment is a hip ornament in elephant ivory, with inlaid lead representing the spots of the leopard. It is framed at the base by an ornamental flange of concentric circles. The slanted eyes, overlapping fangs and foliate-pattern ears are characteristic of Edo leopard carvings. This mask comes from the earliest known phase of Benin craftsmanship. Kingdom of Benin, Edo tribe.
