Lipico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ritual mask of the Makonde people
A lipico or lipiko (plural: mapico or mapiko) is a wooden East African mask for ceremonial dances of the Makonde people in Mozambique and Tanzania.
Mapiko is a ceremonial dance originating with the Makonde people of Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique. Mapiko masks are worn during the rites of passage of circumcised boys.[1][2] These wooden masks have been carved by master craftsmen,[3] made of soft wood and sometimes feature human hair. They represent human heads and may feature labrets or scarifications.[4][5][6]
