The Ibo use thousands of masks, which incarnate the spirits or the dead. These masks, made out of lightweight wood, play a role in the judicial system or in contrast are created for entertainment. They appear every year for the harvest celebrations, at the funerals of notaries or the commemoration of some initiation cults. Through the masks, the Ibo reflect a certain complementarity, by opposing beauty with bestiality, the feminine with the masculine, black with white.
