  • Temne Headdress Mask for the Ordehlay (Ode-Lay) or Jollay Society, Sierra Leone #897
  • The Temne, who are related to the Baga, live in small Chiefdoms within Sierra Leone. Villages are socially regulated by Secret Societies such as the male Poro Society and the Female Bondo Association.
  • A Kotu (masquerade builder) created this mask for a Temne Cultural Society, a kind of Mutual Aid Association. These masquerades emerged from Yorùbá practices transplanted from Nigeria to Sierra Leone during World War I. Cultural (or Masquerade) Societies and the Villages they support pride themselves on innovation. Masquerade Society masks have evolved to reflect new, international influences. The mask’s face shape and “fancy” aesthetic suggest it was created for entertainment. The Female Goddess aspect likely alludes to the transcultural Water Spirit Mami Wata. Though Mami Wata's origins probably pre-date European contact, Her "snake-charmer" persona draws heavily from a 1955 Indian lithographic reproduction of German posters of 19th Century Samoan Circus Performer Maladamatjaute.

Great Vest
this golf vest is amazing. It’s very well-made. It fits well, I’m a double X and I’m 62 and a slice of pizza from 230 pounds. I just love it and plan to buy more. I believe it’s gonna wear very well, but I’ll let you all know in a month or two after I’ve worn it a couple times and washed it a couple times.

As Advertised!
Product arrived promptly & well-packaged (shrink wrapped packaged & enclosed inside additional box). Golf vest was received "as advertised" & appears to be of good quality. Vest was fairly priced & is very comfy, lightweight, stylish & wrinkle resistant. Purchased as a gift for my adult son for his future golf adventures. Size/fit will need to be determined by my son when he prepares for his next golf outing. Very pleased with my purchase & will consider additional purchases from seller in the future.

Great vest
Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Large
This lil vest is awesome. A little thicker than I expected but perfect for my cool office. Looks like it cost twice as much. I had my company info put on it and looks like it cost 150.
