At the Royal Ontario Museum, there is an Igbo mask called Àgbọghọ̀ mmụọ [female spirit]. If you want to learn and possibly plait ancient Igbo hairstyles or paint your face ancient Igbo style, take a look at that mask. See below:

As well as their value as art, these masks also document the hairstyles and makeup of Igbo women from the past. This mask is from c. 1905. pic.twitter.com/HtdZ08WRll
