Costume element of the Baining ethnic group. This type of sex cover is worn at the same time as these huge initiation masks displayed around an ember fire. Made from the same beaten bark, it masks the sex with a white corolla and provides the dancer with a tail. The base transforms this element of costume into a decorative object of very contemporary design. Tapa (beaten paper mulberry bark), bamboo, wood, recycled rubber, vegetable fibers. Traces of use. Sold with base. Field photos by Serge GUIRAUD. Approx. 133 x 30 x 30 cm / €220 base and shipping included.
