When works from Equatorial Africa in this refined style began to enter Western consciousness in the early twentieth century, they were a great enigma to art critics. Many speculated about the sources of their exotic aesthetic and even proposed possible Asian influence, though the art form was in fact indigenous to southern Gabon. Such masks were worn by virtuosic male performers of a stilt dance called "mukudj," which involved towering impressively while executing complex choreography and astonishing feats of acrobatics. The creator of a "mukudj" mask would attempt to capture the likeness of the most beautiful woman in his community. Mask (Mukudj), 19th–20th century. Gabon, Ngounié River region. Culture: Punu peoples
