The mask, known as Ogbodo Enyi, roughly translates to \u2018elephant spirit\u2019 or \u2018village friend\u2019 (where the word enyi means both elephant and friend). It consists of two distinctive faces. On one side, there is an abstract representation of the elephant with a recognisable trunk, while on the other side, there is a smaller, anthropomorphic face (ntekpe) carved into the top. The surface is painted with white kaolin and darker red-black tones.
As Diakonoff illustrates, the special feature of this Ogbodo Enyi mask is its naturalistic head, which features characteristics similar to Idoma sculptures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
