  • Provenance: The Ekets, based in southeastern Nigeria, are a subgroup of the Ibibio ethnic group known for its expressive masks. It is a patrilineal society whose villages are governed by the Ekpo Ndem Isong , a group of elders and heads of extended families. Their decisions are reinforced by members of the Ekpo society who act as messengers of the Ikan (ancestors) and who, during their political duties, are always masked. Their ceremony Ogbom , which takes place in the middle of the year every eight days over eight weeks, aims to appease the earth god named Ala , which grants fertility and abundance of crops. This divinity is also celebrated by the Igbo and ibibio. (Source: Arts of Nigeria, 5continents)
