1998.480.11An Egbege masquerader, wearing a costume and skin-covered cap mask, which represents a female head with a tall coiffure. Keith Nicklin, the photographer, described Egbege as an important Boki association whose membership was restricted to women. Cap masks are known to be worn by women, as well as men, although females usually have the face uncovered. The person in this photograph with the face covered is presumably female, as although Egbege is a female association the masqueraders are not always part of the association and can include males.1998.480.11
